I am hearing them right now it actually sounds like a horses gallops.
Sounds like someone running on my roof.
It comes from all around the room.
I hear sounds like someone is running on my roof after dark usually at midnight.
It s quite scary reply delete.
The sounds give jun 21 2016 so basically i heard footsteps on my roof last night.
It is nearly every night that i hear what sounds like animals running on the ceiling.
Very heavy sounding footsteps like someone wearing big boots.
Raccoons are the largest of these animals so the sound is often heavy more like thumping or walking than the light scurrying of a rat.
Its not all in one area.
No i didn t live in an apartment but instead a two story house.
Squirrel is on the roof chewing on wooden trim like in the photo to the left.
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.
I used to hear them a lot as a child.

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.
They might be from squirrels under the roof inside your house and attic.
At first i thought it was the house settling on like this.
It s not at the same time eachday.
Additionally raccoons are primarily nocturnal so the noises occur at night.
Most of the noises seem to be coming from the top of the walls.
Mine is the noises that come from the roof at night.
Right now it is 8 degrees f outside.
We have snap trapped 3 rats.
Had that problem recently.

We ve been hearing this for a year and recently saw a rat on our patio.
There are loud banging noises coming from our attic roof.
It literally sounds like someone punching sheetrock.
Trust me it sounds loud like a freaking human walking.
How did you guys get to remove the racoons.
A cat or a raccoon will never sound like a human running with the someone is running across my room and portal jumping.
Should i ask the roofer to come back to the house and inspect my roof for any holes would they try to climb through a.
You can imagine my fear as a lay there in bed as a child hearing what sounded like footsteps.
My cat can hear it.
We are trying to figure out if they are coming from out.
