First I thought it was just a fly stuck in web buzzing or something, but it's been four days and it's still there.

I'm not sure what is it, but I hear a buzzing sound coming from the woodwork but I can't pinpoint exactly from what is it coming from. It's always coming from the same place though.

Sometimes it makes a sound exactly like a fly, and sometimes a shorter deeper buzz. It usually lasts for a few seconds and then goes away for 10-30 minutes before it happens again.

What could it be? Could some bug be burrowing inside and making a sound?

That's exactly what I'm worried about. Since the woodwork is right above my bed imagine if it suddenly breaks apart and shitload of bugs come spewing out.

Sounds like a very busy spiders nest if you ask me. The spiderlings will most probably leave soon too.

You have to help the poor thing out .

I actually have the same problem every summer and it's annoying ticking-like sound. I've become numb to it.

But it's probably just some wood living insect.

Hehehe. Ya think?


I think it is maybe carpenter ants. Have you found any dead ones around the house? Or maybe a bee nest in the walls? Is it a outside wall?

I'm pretty sure it's bees, they would be able to get under the roof easily. In any case nothing has chewed through yet Wink

I saw those when I first searched for my problem. Huge motherfuckers. The wood is too thin for those guys, like 1cm, I think they would have chewed through already if it was them.

Maybe they chewed through the roof and nested. Or they are working/chewing on the support 2 x 4's.

Don't assume its bugs...It might be an electrical wiring problem...Turn your electricity off and see if you can still hear it...Worth eliminating it just incase

I'm not ready to take the wood off yet as I'm pretty sure it's bees. It's definitely not electrical.

I tried hitting the spot and it doesn't seem to have any effect, if they were buzzing they continue buzzing, if they weren't nothing happens.

It's starting to get seriously annoying because they woke me up around 7 AM last two mornings.

But I'm almost completely sure it's bees, they nest everywhere this time of year.
