Practical next steps

What to record and check safely

Sounds can travel through service voids, so note their timing and location before assuming the cause.

  1. 01

    Do not open walls or use unverified products

  2. 02

    Check for safe visible clues nearby

  3. 03

    Keep pets away from suspected access points

  4. 04

    Arrange an inspection if sounds persist

When to request an inspection

Arrange professional assessment when signs continue, identification is uncertain, several rooms or units may be involved, or the building has unresolved access or maintenance concerns. Avoid unverified pesticide use.
