My Nonexistent Upstairs Neighbors

Here is a recording of my upstairs neighbors. The only problem is that I have no upstairs neighbors. Above me is an (empty) attic, and, above that, the roof.

I don't think it's a woodpecker. It's more of an intermittent clunking than a woodpecker's relentless hammering. It actually sounds a lot like Jacob Marley trudging around (God bless us, every one). Or could it be my old biz partner, Bob Okumura...?


My Nonexistent Upstairs Neighbors

Does anyone have a theory?

  1. It definitely sounds like a creature. Or perhaps it is the ghost of Christmas past?

  2. I can barely hear the audio, but I'll take a SWAG at it. A small mammal, on the order of an opossom, raccoon, etc.

  3. My experience with squirrels was that they made fast, skittering noises.

    The other day I thought I had a woodpecker attacking my house. Turned out it was a blue jay, pecking at something in my gutters.

  4. I don't the source of the beautiful music you hear in your attic, but indeed you are a lucky man, as lucky as any Russian Cosmonaut.

  5. Ah, if I was only as lucky as the Russian Cosmonaut....!
