From like 8pm to 4am. Then Yesterday, nothing, peace and quiet, all the way up till this morning at 4am...it's now 6am, and I sit and type and listen to that NOISE...If it's a baby bird, please STOP>...

Well, I didn't ask anyone else in the neighborhood, but my boyfriend hears it. It's hard not to hear, it's pretty darn loud. |

One word Cicada A 17 year event that ends the life cycle of this bug. Not to be confused with locus, those are grasshopper style and are very destructive. Gloom |

I have a robin that has decided not only is my roof his perch, but he deigns to sit on the fireplace and his song reverberates through the house. Now, I don't mind at all, because I am, literally, up with the birds. But it has been known to wake a few up in my house. In fact this year, we're more or less bird saturated. The robins are already on their second nest, with their first babes already acting fully grown and almost sporting all of their mature color...and they have been MOST territorial this year, as well, so much so, that when nesting, they're more than likely to swoop down on any "intruders". Ahem...not quite the docile birds of last year! |

I really don't think it's a Cicada, it sounds more like a bird, I think I saw the nest in the tree outside my window..but who really knows. Sunshine, I know how you feel, I have the only dang tree in the neighborhood and all the birds flock to it...Which I don't mind, during the DAY! but 11pm to 8am I mind! LOL We have a lot of baby birds without their mom's though. There are so many cats in this area and they kill all of them. Mostly, I feel bad for the poor ducks, they like to swim in our mud puddles, just goes to show don't feed the ducks! the poor things have it so nice here they won't fly away for the winter. |

I had the same problem once... it turns out that my firealarm needed a new battery.  |

Nodding here. Once I heard this slight squeaking so I went to investigate. As I went tip-toeing through the house, the sound would seem to become clearer, and I would stop to listen, and the noise would stop. As soon as I'd resume my investigation, however, I could hear it again: "wheeeee. wheeeee." I thought I was going crazy too. But when I discovered the source of that irritating sound, I didn't suspect my insanity any longer--I was convinced I'd long been in the land of "la-la." The sound was coming from me--I'd developed a two pack a day cigarette habit and was wheezing like an old steam engine. grin. You going crazy? At least I'll have some company eh? |

lol, I hear ya on that...but...this time I found out what it was. Yesterday, I was talking to my neighbor and I come to find out that he heard it too. He said he got no sleep either. So at 8pm that night, the THING started again.. So what else was there to do but hunt it down! We located the sound in his flower tree. Here we are 6 adults with flash lights looking for something very small... Then we found it, a tiny, tiny little red frog! I never knew a frog could make such a loud noise, so we grabbed it, and took it away. I guess since we had a lot of rain, it was attracted to the vegatation, and his yard flooded so it had a nice pond too..LOL Ahhhh now I can sleep, and it was a wonderful night! |

...My mum thought we had a tree frog stuck in the kitchen one time...lots of high pitched squeaky noises and the like. It turned out that the Carbon monoxide detector needed a new battery. She had the whole of the kitchen sink cupboard emptied looking for the critter. And our little dog couldnt stand the noise and went outside for ages. Good thing they discovered what it really was...eventually! ~Liz. "Time has told me not to ask for more, one day our ocean will find its shore" ~Nick Drake |

I have the same trouble...I bought earplugs but then I sleep through the alarm... call a pest control person to find the culprit and remove it to another location |
