Male carpenter bees engaging in territorial behavior.
Toss a pebble or bee sized object up and they will zoom in to check
that it is not another male carpenter bee.
The females will drill a hole and lay a few eggs and provision it, no
biggie here but it sure upsets the Biff and Muffin types with natural
wood siding.

Not a Biff nor Martin here, but we live in a coffee shack (single
wall, and parts of this house are over 50 years old- certainly nothing
fancy) and about those bees...late at night they get irritated with
one another and start buzzing in the wood.

Call the police. They shouldn't be making noise after 10PM.

If they are *your* tenants, I'd give them a 30-day notice of eviction.

Maybe it is the kids
emerging form the pupa but I can hear them on the wood out our window.
When we had our ho sue tented for termites years ago, we found many
dead carpenter bees below the gutter line. We did not know we had so
many. Wish we didn't.
