At this time of year, actually I heard them start about 2 or 3 weeks ago, the male has a small little two toned whistle, again very quiet, calling for a mate. The first part of the whistle is a higher tone than the second part of the whistle.
This is a very quiet little whistle, nothing at all like you would whistle to call your dog.
At the link below, you can hear the zeee zeee zeee sound of the chickadee as well as the whistle mating call. I think it would be highly unlikely that this is what is keeping you from sleeping.

Highly recommend this app for identifying birds. I use it in my back yard all the time.
