Whats ticking?!

[FancifulFeathers]

Didn’t know where else to post this!

There’s a ticking noise in my lounge. I don’t have a clock. I’ve investigated (on my hands and knees) and drawing a blank. Thought it might’ve been next door with a new REALLY LOUD clock but that’s unlikely isn’t it and not really coming from that direction.

Driving me insane. Any ideas?!

Pacemaker?

Your thermostat has kicked in for the first time this year and the radiator is ticking as it expands?

Something that the battery is running out of. We had a ticking and it was one of those suitcase weighers that you hang your suitcase from.

Running out of battery seems like a good call, but it doesn’t to get louder as I approach any toys. It’s a constant in the background.

(Radiator nope but I did sneak the heating on earlier, isn’t it cold today?!)

Is it your oven? Our gas one makes a very faint ticking sound

Death Watch beetle in the rafters?

It's a spider

This is random, but I have an Amazon Firestick and the remote for that ticks. I don't even know why. Also, some air fresheners that are set to spray at set times sometimes tick. Could it be either of those?

I was trying to think of someones name before , maybe its my brain you can here ticking

The ticking has got faster.

If it is a spider he’s running pretty fast/wearing clumpy shoes

It's clearly a cartoon bomb

Tinnitus?!

I only say that because one night I could hear this electrical sort of sound. I was going mad in the bedroom, turning plugs off etc. Then I got some ear plugs and noticed it was my bloody ears!! Horrible tinnitus!! I've had it a few times since and it literally drives me insane.

Wearing clumpy shoes 🤣🤣 maybe he’s knitting?! Isn’t there a certain bug that ticks also? Hopefully it’s not a pipe leaking

Have you got a water bottle with a sports top? It’s the air escaping...

Are you sure it’s not just your radiators cooling down after your heating went off!?

My external hard drive sometimes makes a ticking noise.

Check your bulbs. We have a reading lamp that sometimes starts ticking. It’s very annoying. It stops when we wobble the bulb.

Dripping tap? Or dripping radiator?

I’m off to investigate all these things...

Do you have a timer plug? I'd check that

A) a toy your DC have left switched on
B) it's not really ticking, it's dripping...
C) spider wearing clogs knitting a scarf

I hunted round my house for the source of the dripping tap noise when I got out of the shower once. It got louder then faster.
I spent about half an hour wandering round until I discovered it was me dripping milk from each breast.
Sorry if TMI but have you checked if it is you?

😂 Charleymouse!

Seconding the dripping.
