Hey folks! I've got this weird intermittent drilling or vibrating sound coming from my attic that I can't quite pin down. It's loud enough to hear over the TV but not overly deafening. Here's the breakdown: the noise lasts about 3-5 seconds at a time, sometimes happening consecutively with only 10-20 seconds in between, while other times it can go silent for an hour or more. What's strange is it only occurs in the morning; I don't notice it during the day or evening. The sound feels fast and loud enough to rule out animals entirely, resembling someone drilling wood quickly. Since my attic is unfinished with just beams and no flooring, I'm really scratching my head here. Could this be about HVAC, plumbing, or maybe an electrical issue? Or something else entirely? Any insights would be super helpful! Thanks!

This could be a water hammer issue that's echoing through the walls, making it sound like it's coming from your attic. Have you ever heard of that? It might not be an emergency, but it's something to check out!
Hey! Have you checked if there's a thermostat-controlled fan in the attic? Sometimes those can cause weird noises when they kick on. Just a thought!
