Saturday we were out at the farm and we had been working all day and was getting stuff put away. We were in the old barn and it sounded like raindrops were hitting the roof, which really surprised us because it was sunny out.
Nephews and I walked outside and no rain. Walked back into the barn and we hard the same sound again. Looked all over and couldn't see anything causing the sound.
I hit one of the roof joist and the sound stopped for about 30 seconds and then started again. I smacked it again and same results. Nephews decided they had enough and went outside. I wandered around and looked in the different spots, but could find nothing. The only thing I noticed was we have had LOTS of carpenter bees. We have been trapping them and we fill up sticky traps and the wood/jar traps with them.
My only guess is that the noise could be carpenter bee larvae. My limited understanding is that they are very noisy. Yet, I have never heard that before unless it was raining.
So, I didn't know if anyone else had any ideas?
