I hear this quack noise in my hair. ...Help please,<br /><br />I hear this quack noise in my hair. I have tried every lice treatment, including Dimethicone and Permethrin, not to mention alcohol, bleach, and vinegar. The sound from both the right and the left temple still keeps coming.<br /><br />I am out of my wits as to what this is. I have been to two lice clinics that claim I do not have any. I am not imagining this, since after hearing this sound and feeling some movement I see nits! I also feel bites.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01430727276723897699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536194929522837128.post-18737620145490792462021-09-23T21:16:51.295-03:002021-09-23T21:16:51.295-03:00Hi& thankyou, I'm glad to have found somet...Hi& thankyou, I'm glad to have found something that describes the sound I've heard in my room at night since I was a kid , the quack, quack, quack or creek, creek, noise sometimes every few minutes. It usually seemed like there was 2 of them one near my bed in the bedside table and another at the other side of the room and it sounded like they were talking or competing! Now I'm living in another house I hear it occasionally here aswell and I'm assuming it must be quite common but probably goes unnoticed but to me its clear as I recognise it instantly! and always wondered what insect it could be!

It is so annoying! The only thing that helps a little bit is extreme airing - the 'schrap-schrap-bug' how I call them now seems to need high air humidity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536194929522837128.post-81729638845696278702020-09-15T17:02:27.929-03:002020-09-15T17:02:27.929-03:00I had one about 2 years ago in my kitchen.

The next day some ants carried a dead one from under the cupboards, where I couldn't reach without dismantling the kitchen. That's when the noise stopped.<br />Now they are back again �� I hate this noise. They always use the cupboards as amplifier. Hope I can get rid of them, before there is an invasion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536194929522837128.post-59193253929833763892020-04-06T20:20:34.283-03:002020-04-06T20:20:34.283-03:00I spent 25 years trying to explain to people exact...I spent 25 years trying to explain to people exactly the noise that you ascribed to the Lepinotus patruelis and have never been able to record or explain the tiny quack quack quack noise which I thought was coming from my walls. I've recently heard the noise in another house and thought I would have another look online, and I'm very glad I found this page as it's answered a lifelong mystery.

I find these creamy ones...Thank you for this post!<br /><br />I find these creamy ones (trogium pulsatorium) here and there quite often in my house but i only notice them tapping when I'm working in my office (where i also keep my books) at night, in silence. And it's so annoying! I've read about them before but they are so small and fragile that i was finding it hard to believe they could make such an audible sound!<br /><br />Is it possible to know an approximation of the bpm (beats per minute) of the tapping noises? If what i'm thinking is right, the creamy ones have tappings of about 300 to 320 bpm. Can anyone confirm? (you can use this bpm calculator: http://www.beatsperminuteonline.com/ )<br /><br />As for other noises, is this the nailed comb teeth (you might have to turn the volume up)?<br />https://soundcloud.com/roryok/weird-noise<br /><br />And I don't think I ever heard the quack sound - Guess that's a good thing ^^'<br /><br /><br />Also, if you're interested: where I first read about this noisy little bugs (the fisrt one is really funny, and that's where i've found the nailed comb sound):<br /><br />https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/47914/creaking-clicking-noise-coming-from-wood-cardboard<br /><br />http://nynscout.com/2017/07/28/hear-a-strange-clicking-noise-you-may-have-psocids/Sig.

We get them in our tortoise vivariums and in cupboards and anywhere there are natural fibres like hay or straw. Amazes me how something so tiny can be so loud! Now I know they broadcast their sounds I'll know to look for natural amplifiers �� Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044569544892608778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536194929522837128.post-2575390825812772016-03-20T22:13:03.474-03:002016-03-20T22:13:03.474-03:00Hello :) i hear the same noises every day! I live ...Hello :) i hear the same noises every day! I live in a small flat in germany, stuttgart and thought it was something behind the wall. On some day i hear the "quack" noise near my bed and found a very small dark brown insect. And this insects make the noise. I can hear it because they use different locations for example plastic bags or cartons and then i can hear them. It seems they love old paper, cartons etc.<br />Sometimes i can hear the click noise too....<br />But this duck noises are the worst. I ask people in german insect forums but nobody answered so it seems that they think this noises doesnt exist. You should write it down on wikipedia so maybe other people hear this noises too but nobody can help themAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677212253111465236noreply@blogger.com
