Default Strange noise - deathwatch beetles?

Hi
I have noticed a strange noise in my bedroom recently. Its like a very
faint tapping noise - its fairly random and very quiet.

I have ruled out any noises coming from my PC or anything else in my
room OR anything coming from surrounding rooms. I can't see it being
from outside as the sound doesn't seem to be coming from near the window
and its happening really late like 5am when its pretty much dead around
here.

It seems to be coming from the attic and someone suggested Deathwatch
Beetles!!

Anyone had any experience of this? What is the noise meant to be like?


If the noise is faint, it won't be deathwatch beetle. They make a surprisingly
loud noise with their head banging - you can hear it over a normal TV.


What are you doing up so late?

Don't you have a bed to go to?
