We live a two minute walk from the sea and are plagued with the wretched things mess,
noise and general nuisance. Recently, a series of extremely loud, percussive noises mysteriously
occurred at random intervals over a few days. Nobody has laid claim to being the perpetrator
but....pretty much all the gulls have gone! Look up outdoor fireworks. Enjoy.
Possibly a gas gun bird scarer. Used around here by our farmer
neighbour.

There are also the much cheaper bird scarer ropes which burn slowly
and let off a bang about the same as a shotgun report at intervals.
About £35 compared to an outlay of £300 + though of course single use
only.
The OP doesn't state if they live at an isolated dwelling or in a
terreced house so he/she can google Bird scarer rope and decide if
they fulfill the conditions for purchase from reputable suppliers or
obtain one from a supplier who doesn't care.
Detached house in a not too crowded estate, so may be a problem with a
shotgun sound... ;-)
Thanks anyway.
