My immediate thought, even just on reading John's subject line, was
unanimous with the other 3 responses given. Eastern Spinebill, a common
winter visitor.

John,
How about Eastern Spinebill.

Subject: Sustained, fast repetitive, high pitched, garden
bird call
In my garden I often hear a sustained/continuous, fast repetitive, high
pitched bird call, which stops the moment I open my door, never to restart
when I am outside! And I've always failed to spot it through a window. What
bird am I most likely looking for?
It is much higher pitched, faster and more sustained than a white-throated
treecreeper (which I wouldn't expect to see in my garden anyway)
All ideas welcome!
John
