Sounds Like Someone Running On My Roof

As i sit here in bed trying to get some sleep i cannot.

Sounds like someone running on my roof.

It really sounds like someone throwing a basketball at the side of my house or on my roof. My house has circular layout under a square roof. Fast moving scurrying noises are often rodents like. Unless a raccoon feels like he should be jumping in the air 5 or 6 times in a row.

It is nearly every night that i hear what sounds like animals running on the ceiling. It comes from all around the room. Trust me i saw the builders building the roof and there were no kind of animals up there. I don t believe it is an animal because this sound is rather consistent.

Very heavy sounding footsteps like someone wearing big boots. Usually heard only when the wind is blowing or expansion and contraction of timbers and gutters as the roof warms up during the day or cools down at night. Other causes of sounds in a roof can be tree branches rubbing on the roof or eaves. My cat can hear it.

At first i thought it was the house settling on like this. The sounds give jun 21 2016 so basically i heard footsteps on my roof last night. And a third one that seemed like it was jumping on and off the roof in the front of the house. The front and left.

Right now it is 8 degrees f outside. It s not at the same time eachday. Most of the noises seem to be coming from the top of the walls. Go back to the main how to get rid of wild animals page for more information about animal on the roof and what types of noises or sounds they make.

There are loud banging noises coming from our attic roof. It seems as though i can feel the vibration of the thumping. It is rather muffled but really loud. A second one that seemed to be going around the house.

You suspect you ve got critters. I am hearing them right now it actually sounds like a horses gallops. Its not all in one area. Squirrels are fast and light so much of the noise sounds like fast scurrying or running usually in the attic near the edge of the roof and sometimes noise in the walls or chimney.

The most common noise inquiries we get from homeowners are concerns about sounds coming from the attic. Some people report hearing the rolling of nuts. I also just heard a bird. A cat or a raccoon will never sound like a human running with the someone is running across my room and portal jumping.

It literally sounds like someone punching sheetrock. Squirrels are most active in the morning and evening so most people report hearing the sounds at that time. Quite a few times within the past year i have heard something scamper across my roof. Every room except mine and the bathrooms have two entrances.

While it is impractical to cover the roof in anti bird spikes placing these on the ridge of the roof can help to stop pest birds from landing on your roof and causing problems.
