Hi,

We have had similar recently, identified as a Eurasian scops owl. Google it online and you can get an example of the noise!!

Thank you for replying.  The noise is similar to a bat.  Would it go on for 10 hours non stop?  It has now been 8 nights.

Someone suggested it might be a dead battery from an alarm.  No idea where to look.

Most smoke alarms will make an intermittent tweeting/chirping sound when the batteries have gone flat. Have you got any!

Cricket 100% try and locate it by sound  and  use insecticide although try and capture it and release it away from your house first

I would hate killing anything. The sound seems to come from inside ceiling.
