What Raccoon Noises Sound Like
Raccoons are large animals and the sounds they make are very different from smaller pests
Heavy thumping or walking above the ceiling
Dragging or shifting sounds in the attic
Deep slow scratching
Growling or chattering noises
Baby chirping or whining sounds in spring
If it sounds like something walking instead of light scratching it is usually raccoons
Start with a professional wildlife inspection to confirm the animal
