From the freezing conditions?

It could be raccoons or some other animal seeking warmth. I would call a roofing specialist to inspect as they can cause serious damage (insurance does cover the repairs).

Meantime, get some foam ear plugs so you can get some sleep.

I am going with the temperatures. Our deck "pops" and it sounds like rocks being dropped on it. I have also heard these upstairs but, only when it is really cold. Wait for some warmer weather (relatively speaking) and, I'll bet the sounds subside.

Yup. It's a "frost quake". Google it up and you'll see. In the GTA they've been hearing them! One evening I heard it and it sounded almost like a tree fell onto my roof. Then I found out that that's what it was.

It's just from the cold, things contracting, shrinking, ours is doing it too because of the deep freezing. When it warms up, just check things out to make sure nothing warped too badly out of wack.

Yes. We have been hearing all kinds of stuff. I have been sent upstairs to look for intruders a number of times even though I say it's the cold!

This always happens during extreme cold!

If yours happens all the time it might be animals. So yeah, get it checked out.

PS: Why is it always me that has to go look for intruders???

tvctoronto We did hear the Frost Quakes on christmas eve. We heard a few while we were on the main floor and its not the same sound as what I was hearing last night. These sounds happened in the fall as well. It's just bizarre. I also heard noises that sounded like 2 nails drop on the ceiling or wood.

How do we stop it? It kept me up all night! Im going to contact our neighbors who have a home built by the same builder and see if they have the same issues. Maybe is the shape of our home? It's a corner lot and the shape of the house is a pentagon.

If it's not the frigid temps, check for critters (as was suggested above).

Sounds like nail pops from the cold. Nothing you can do about those except replace every nail with a screw.

Hi all.
I am experiencing the same sound. I once thought that it my be the activity of witchcraft is so frustrating. One day my geysers element was not working and the plumber went into the roof to fix it, for about 20-30 minutes he was in there. I ask him to look around with his spot light and there was nothing strange. Really what would be the cause of this sound.

Yup! That sounds pretty accurate..lol i've experienced it the same way...Society is not near as ready for what is here occupying space on this earth planet seed ..It shall be epic! #Cosmic "Spiritual Energy Technologies" being downloaded to this earth planet!..It is apart of our soul contract upgrade enhancement program, for all those who had accepted certain contracts before coming the this earth world ..May you all find the true light, the light within one another..

I have had this same experience. Had a difficult time removing raccoon out. I was scared for my life. My husband was out of town on a business tour. I tried my best before resorting to help from wildlife removal services toronto.

They have to be removed by hand thus it is safe to hire wildlife technicians to get into the attic and remove them.

In most of the cases, the raccoon in the attic would be a mother with babies. The young has to be removed by hand by night. Be patient with the mother raccoon in the attic. A bright light placed at the entrance would be disturbing for them. Similarly, sound and smell annoy them a lot.

Some people wait for them to grow up and leave, then close off the access point to prevent other raccoons from using the attic as a den in the future.

But fortunately, in my case, the damage was covered by the insurance. Standard homeowners insurance would help you with damages pertaining to roof, attic, or any area of our home structure.

hammering an banging noise

So here’s an update! Someone liked this discussion and it popped up in my email so i felt like I should update in hopes that it helps someone else.

In the guest room the banging noise stopped after we had a roofing company redo our entire roof. We told them about the noise so they made sure to screw down that area as well as the rest of the roof that needed it. That helps tremendously. I think the issue was there was expansion and contraction happening and there were loose nails creating the sounds. The roofing company used screws throughout the roof to help.

The we still had this ticking noise going on in our bedroom. Turns out the drywall wasn’t secured properly to an exterior wall. The cold at night was making the framing beams to expand and contract causing an annoying rhythmic ticking noise. This past Saturday I took 3 screws roughly 12 I’m apart on each beam (16 inches apart) in the area that was creating the noise . So far that has fixed the problem! We haven’t spackled yet because we are waiting to see if it comes back. Almost 1 week in and nothing. We’re hoping we fixed that problem as well for good!

We have a Metalcraft espan roof. Very dissappointing has it too bangs and crashes with expansion and is even worse in windy conditions. Spoken with manufacturer and they have no interest in rectifying.

Ohh so that's not new and not only with my 🏠 so relaxed to read all the comments above, lol.... No offense. This terrifying banging sound is the chronic headache for all of my family members. We have been experiencing it for more than 2 years now. We actually end up calling people who deal with witchcraft and magic, nothing worked 🤦‍♀️.... My brother thinks there is someone calling for help from the another dimension like Matthew called her daughter Anne in Interstellar 🤣... Whatever it is we kind of used to it now!!!! We just hope it will fine peace one day 😛!!!!

They mighy be jinns or devils..In our aprtment we always hear that kind of noises..check it out.

If you have ruled out all wildlife, found nothing in your roof then I would consider who lived in this house before and the la d the house is built on. We recently moved into a 3 year old house, saged and cleansed the house. There was serenity (so we thought) throughout the house until my wife moved a picture of Jesus from the den into our master. We started hearing a loud punching sound from the roof that rattled the livingroom. We tried to debunk it but to no avail! We had to enlist the aid of a Babalao who came to our home and do a cleansing. After he left the pounding stopped. The black crowd also stopped coming to our lanai. If you don’t believe please do! We are definitely not alone.

When I'm home alone is usually the only times I hear it. My roommates were out of the country for the more memorable ones last year. So I KNOW I was the only person home. Though I did check for no reason too. My room is downstairs, and in my room I often hear either a loud thud, or what sounds like someone pacing/walking around in the upstairs master bedroom. That's all there is upstairs too, the master bed, bath, and closet, one door for the closet the rest is open. Also, wooden floors upstairs make it even more noticeable in an empty house. I do have a dog, one who hates being alone, so she's always with me, in my room. She has out lived her life expectancy and though very alive, suffers from full body arthritis, and takes medication for it. Needless to say she doesn't like the stairs and never uses them unless there's some urgent dog matter idk? Pretty much never. Except that day last year, she kept leaving my room and going upstairs, walking around, and then back down repeatedly. VERY odd! I've told the other's but they have never heard anything. Ive tried recording the sounds though when i play it back it's just white noise (silence). l live in Las Vegas so cold weather cannot be the cause. I'm beginning to think it's me, or that I'm possessed or some anomaly, its not a great feeling. Any thoughts?

Incase you hear a clicking noise on your TV, the sound of dropping of metal/stainless, ypu perceive foul smell sometimes,
scratching sounds, you get twitches on your muscles, itches on your body, cobweb feels on your face, inability to keep a train of thought, near success syndrome, crawling sensation on your hair Or you hear the flushing of toilet, hear voices? Feels like you are called by God?

I keep hearing banging noises from in my attic and I don't know why I've been hearing it like all day long I banged right at it and I have no idea why it keeps on doing it but stops and then doing doing it I don't know what I'm going to do but I'm not but I think I'm just going to keep banging in it and keep banging in it and threatening it

Im 13 and I heard a bang on my roof at 12am

and it sounded something fell down and hitted the roof really hard and then I started hearing something moveing around on the roof but as im writhing the comment it has stopped

And I live in Honduras it might be one of the most dangerous places to be

The summary is!

Some body established telepathy with you to steal your subtle energy

i cant sleep either sounds like nails on a chalk board

We moved 6 months ago, we hear a bump on the ceiling, same place same pitch, nothing scary it came with us from our last house. Dogs not affected by it, other family members have heard it weird.. lost soul ?

So it's 4:40 am now. I woke up to a loud bang at 4 am. I also had to use the washroom, so I thought that's what woke me. I have been having creepy feelings the last 2 nights. I sleep in pitch dark. Now I have the light on. So these are the sound variations:

Sometimes it's a sharp loud noise, like a bowling ball falling on the roof. Other times it is loud but softer, like muffled. Then there are smaller sounds, like like series of marbles falling. And the sounds are moving around. Omg, heard the loudest so far just now!!

Ok, back to story. So yeah, it's moving around but majority over my head. I live in an apartment. I have 2 others living with me. There is no access to the roof and I love in the top floor. It is -5 C feels like -13 now. It didnt snow at all today. In fact, it was +7C today, so a lot of snow melted. This does not sound like floorboard creaking. One of the bangs was followed by a sound of movement. Again, no direcr access to roof. And while this was happening, I decided to go on fb to distract myself. Randomly a funny meme popped up about rooftop ghosts. Wtf. https://www.facebook.com/218613405205017/posts/1550261085373569/?sfnsn=mo

I called family members who live overseas as they would be up. Spoke to them for sometime for ease. The sound is less frequent now but still going on. I'm at Ottawa, ON.

Update: it's around 5 am now and I can hear cars on the road. The sound has stopped like 99%. So to those saying these are natural sounds, why would it randomly stop now that people are up and about?

I am in a newly built home. it is 2am and i am hearing banging noises in roof. Hope its only due to the cold weather. Anyone else experiencing this? I am in Ottawa.

I have left comments above. So for me, it has calm down quite a bit. I still hear the sounds but once in a while. It was a nightmare the night I posted first time. It went on for hours. While open to other interpretations, it is very much possible that it was due to cold weather. For me, the night it happened was the first winter night this season where the weather got cold. So might be that the pipes were adjusting to the cold. Now I dont check the weather when I hear these sounds again. So I cant confirm the link.

It is still scary. But there's no point thinking it's other than copd weather. See if this happens again in the summer. I have been at this location since summer 2021 and I only started to hear the noises in Dec. I'll keep my hear open for these sounds this summer.

Good luck!

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM YERSTERDAY SOMETHING WAS WALKING IN MY ROOF AT NIGHT WITH A BIG FULL STEP DEN AFTER A TIME WEN WAS QUIRED I CHECKED ROOF I DINT GET NOTHING

Well, I've heard my share of noises- my neighbor and I saw a rodent eating from her citrus tree - yes, they eat the insides and leave it... so I thought the one thump / bump we heard often might be the rat jumping from their tree to our very close window awning [to get onto the roof and move on that way]. Yuck.

Hey I'm hearing banging sound in my apartment wall at night for a while. It is a loud noise which makes me wake up in the middle of the night. I am scared because I live at the top floor and I think the building is gonna collapse soon.

Experience is the same. Horrible noises wake us up when low temps and ice and snow storms occur.Scary...c

Will take suggestion of getting a structural engineer who has wood framing and residential experience..... hopefully he can suggest reasonable remedies..

On May 29 around 5 pm in S. Louisiana i was

shaken by a loud noise coming from my fireplace. 15 minutes later another, 20 minutes later another for a total of 7 times. it was so loud it startled me . Ended right after it got dark here. I immediately went outside to inspect my chimney, Saw nothing. i know it isnt a critter because the top of the stack has a lid that is completly covered so nothing can get in. Never has this happened before. it was loud enough to hear over the tv . Sounded like something was hitting it . like banging on a cookie pan. We have a 2 yr old roof, been in our house for 13 yrs. Anyone have any idea what this could of been. It hasnt happened since. Meteor shower tonight and tomorrow . Not sure if the shower could actually hit the ground. checked online and theres no mention of anything happening. qnyone have any clue what this could of been? Very curious. thanks
