This is a much larger animal than a rat or bird and it usually easy to tell its presence from the much heavier and slower footfalls and they don t gnaw wood like the rodents will.
Sounds like footsteps on my roof.
Hey just so you know i have footsteps on my roof at least 12 hours a day and sometimes at night it s called dem squirrels and if you want i can record it tomorrow morning lol.
I should also mention racoons birds and other animals make the same sound.
As i sit here in bed trying to get some sleep i cannot.
A lot of things sound like foot steps but if they go on and on for hours no matter what there s a good chance that noise is something else.
Most of the noises seem to be coming from the top of the walls.
It literally sounds like someone punching sheetrock.
Trust me it sounds loud like a freaking human walking.
It could be any number of animals walking around on your roof.
I was cleaning leaves on my roof when this weird wave of low level sound started.
In new zealand the other animal that can be a cause of noises in the roof is the possum australian brushtail possum.
It comes from all around the room.
Mice make scratching sounds squirrels sound like normal human footsteps magpies make an unearthly racket.
It doesn t really come across in the video but the sound was impossible to pin down.
Communal living and sleeplessness will do it.
