Not spoiled, imprinted. It will adjust. Get some ear plugs.

I'd try lowering the temp before I tried raising it; less likely to do harm.

I agree, imprinted, just couldn't remember the word for it in my last post. It thinks that you guys are it's chickie mamas!

If she's been cheeping nonstop for 12 hours, I would cover them because it's time to sleep. They do this when they see artificial light past natural sundown I believe!

Also if she is alone, she will cheep to find others. That is pretty sad.

When I had this problem, raising the heat help, and then later the heat was the issue. I don't believe they need 90 degree heat for more than 2-3 weeks.

I think thats pretty normal. I'm on my third set of peeps this year and in my last batch I had one that wouldn't stop whistling... hence the name Whistler. She just got louder and more boisterous as she got bigger and stronger. Personally I'd only worry if you had a quiet listless chick. If shes making noise, that means she has the energy to make the noise, which is a good thing!
