I'm seriously getting scared by this thread...hearing foreign sounds through the baby monitor has always worried me!!

Hesitated to respond once I saw what section this question is in, but I just wanted to ask if you have considered interference on the monitors? Over the years our's have picked up fragments of conversations in other houses, general electrical noises and the strangest whooshing and popping noises. Quite often the interferance registered highly on the monitor when logically we should have also heard it with our own ears. Anyway, just a thought.

Rats in the roof eating walnuts.

A hippopotamus on the roof eating cake?

i was going to say this too! great minds think alike...

our patio awning was getting old and the screws kept popping out, so when we had a strong gust of wind it would pull on the awning shadecloth stuff and make a loud bang...dont spose its anything like that? maybe it could be neighbours?

We have a colourbond roof and it can make certain noises (of expanding/contracting) when the temperature quickly changes outside. Could it be that?


A couple of weeks ago I went into my DD's room when it was around mid morning. She was upset as there was this strange tapping noise going on outside her window. It had woken her up a few hours earlier and wouldn't stop. (She has Aspergers so has sensory issues with noise). I put my head close to her window and thought it was some workers building a house in the distance. When I moved from the window, it sounded like it was just outside the window. I pulled her curtain open and saw what was making the noise.
She'd placed a solar powered flower on her window sill and the noise was the leaves moving - when the sun reached her window it started to move.

Id bet its a possum going out and coming home again at dawn. Probably has to push its way under a gutter or something and makes the bang.

!! Best name ever!!

Isn't it just? My husband thought I was joking til I googled it and showed him.

Could it be a child kicking its feet ? My DS does that occasionally when he wakes then stops?? But check interference on monitors, look to see if possums can or have entered....

Lol, thanks for the input (and the giggles) everyone

I've come to update - we figured out what it is finally! It's our dogs doggy door. See, we never heard it previously as DS's door is always closed, so the sound of it doesnt come through on the monitor.
However, last week we got a sparky out to install an electrical socket to plug the new baby monitor into for our new bubs - and kept the nursery door open each night (which is right next to DS's room)
So THAT"S why we could hear it so loudly now, and thats why it happens at around the same time each night/morning, and why its always around four bangs before stopping.

Lol, cant believe it took us this long to figure out
