I am hearing them right now it actually sounds like a horses gallops.
Sounds like someone running on my roof.
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.
Its not all in one area.
Squirrel is on the roof because it is actually entering and living in your attic.
Trust me it sounds loud like a freaking human walking.
No i didn t live in an apartment but instead a two story house.
Here are the concerns.
The sounds give jun 21 2016 so basically i heard footsteps on my roof last night.
Squirrel on a roof is making noises running around and rolling nuts.
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.
Go back to the main how to get rid of wild animals page for more information about animal on the roof and what types of noises or sounds they make.
Mine is the noises that come from the roof at night.
It is nearly every night that i hear what sounds like animals running on the ceiling.

There are loud banging noises coming from our attic roof.
Very heavy sounding footsteps like someone wearing big boots.
We are trying to figure out if they are coming from out.
Squirrel is on the roof chewing on wooden trim like in the photo to the left.
I used to hear them a lot as a child.
They might be from squirrels under the roof inside your house and attic.

Our situation ended up being raccoons in the attic.

At first i thought it was the house settling on like this.
I also just heard a bird.
I should also mention racoons birds and other animals make the same sound.
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.
We ve been hearing this for a year and recently saw a rat on our patio.
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.
It s quite scary reply delete.
Additionally raccoons are primarily nocturnal so the noises occur at night.
How did you guys get to remove the racoons.
