it makes me think that sun is about to come up and it turns out to be 3AM, then the dog wants to go out. i thought it was birds or something as it kinda sounds like a fire detector that has a low battery.
I was thinking the bird had insomnia! I've read in the Chronicle that these are young male mockingbirds who are seeking to establish their own territory.
has anyone else been hearing these weird chirping sounds at night? there were just random peeps and you never really figure it out and its horribly annoying.
Sounds like you have rats.Could they be cicadas? Cockroaches must be the beyond ugly duckling.Another random fact: Cockroaches are close to my feet, when I smash them, but they aren't related to my feet! When I came home tonight, I heard them in the front yard too (not just by my bedroom window, where for a week or two they've been keeping me up at night).

Of course, if they are the ones you are hearing, they may just drive you out of your mind - uh, that is if it's not too late for that!the weird part is that i seem to be the only one hearing them.i found it strange that i heard them in westchase and also downtown.
During mating season, Barred Owls engage in raucous duets combining a range of gurgles, caws, hoots, and cackles.When hunting, however, Barred Owls use silence to their advantage. Instead, we've combined classic late-night bird sounds with a few lesser-known, but no less inspired, nocturnal melodies, to create a playlist of the most captivating nighttime bird songs to be found in North America. Or they could be some form of alien.i'm thinking birds too ... just that i NEVER see them.
I registered just to respond....what's going on here in Texas?
Ambient sounds are minimal and there is less competition — at least vocally — with other birds.Still, there are too many birds that sing at night — or at least late into the evening — to easily list here.
but the sounds come from one tree to the next (and sometimes from the sky).Heights Native, now living on 8 wooded acres on Cedar Creek just south of Bastrop.Heights Native, now living on 8 wooded acres on Cedar Creek just south of Bastrop.Heights Native, now living on 8 wooded acres on Cedar Creek just south of Bastrop.Heights Native, now living on 8 wooded acres on Cedar Creek just south of Bastrop.Heights Native, now living on 8 wooded acres on Cedar Creek just south of Bastrop.Houston, Texas, USA, North America, Northern hemisphere, Earth, Inner asteroid belt, Solar system, Milky way galaxy, THIS universe...at least...Heights Native, now living on 8 wooded acres on Cedar Creek just south of Bastrop.Heights Native, now living on 8 wooded acres on Cedar Creek just south of Bastrop.Heights Native, now living on 8 wooded acres on Cedar Creek just south of Bastrop. cause i swear i hear them from every direction.has anyone else been hearing these weird chirping sounds at night? i know what crickets sounds like --or at least i thought i did.
But being less on-grid doesn’t mean you fully escape from all noises, especially the nocturnal ones produced by nature.
It sounds like maybe a few of them for now but there will surely be more to come.They do sound like a small bird or a smoke alarm low battery sound but they are actually small frogs.I was restless last night and couldn't sleep, so I sat in the living room watching TV. If you have an account, maybe that IS what i am hearing. A hell of a lot of frogs are invading the United States, must be some sort of terrorist plot, who knows.2.
Seems artificial lighting has changed their natural habits.It COULD be a nighthawk, but it could also be that:1. they must be small and fast flying.although i love coast to coast am at night, and gov't conspiracy theories, alien encounters and abduction like the best of 'em, it just must be my bad eyesight and their fast movements.I have a lot chickadees up there, but I know the ones I saw werenmaybe that IS what i am hearing. The melody, which combines wild trilling with an ethereal whistle, is typically used by males, which vocalize well into the night. In both cases, the night holds advantages. Although still considered common in some heavily wooded regions, Eastern Whip-poor-will populations have declined by 75 percent over the last 50 years, and the species has been added to the Yellow-breasted Chat. This quiet flight plus excellent nighttime vision make Barred Owls outstanding predators.Previously restricted largely to mature forests in eastern North America, these owls now inhabit large portions of the Pacific Northwest as well.
been hearing it in westchase, but also was downtown last night and heard the sounds there too ... i have not seen any evidence of birds making the sounds.If you slighty snap your fingers they will trail towards you. Others, like Northern Mockingbirds, are typically active during the day but will vocalize into the night when searching for mates.
But even that has become more difficult in recent years. I've read in the Chronicle that these are young male mockingbirds who are seeking to establish their own territory. When defending territory, males employ a whinnying call to warn off potential intruders. the thing is that they tend to come from the trees AND the air --could just be acoustics and bad lighting though.
[/Obligatory Quote]Those aren't those really dangerous tree frogs, are they?I agree with dbigtex on the nighthawk possibility.However, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Are they the ones whose chirping grows louder and more persistent until they drive you to buy insurance?Speaking of chickadees, anyone remember this lyric?I first heard these over at a friend's house in Clear Lake City about 4 years ago.They told me they were frogs and were a type that had not been in this area before.
