I Keep Hearing Strange Noises In My Garage At Night. They Don't Sound Human.

**AmazeO XD** · 08-27-2009 07:27 AM

So, tonight was the first night I heard em, but I'll give you the whole story.

I went into my garage at about 1:15 a.m. to have a cigarette. I didn't go out on the deck (where I normally go) because it had just rained. While I'm smoking, I'm texting people, and just leaning against my mom's car. About five minutes go by, and it's all dandy. Then, I hear this noise. Hard to explain.

Kind of like a very soft moan. Like an... "ehh". At first, I thought it was an animal or something. The most extreme thing I could think of was two people banging outside of my garage, in my backyard. But it was too irregular, and upon further listen (it happened a few more times, about once every 30-40 seconds) I realized it didn't sound like a moan of pleasure (or pain to be honest).

I texted someone "there's weird fucking noises in my garage", and then put my phone away. I continued smoking, but tried not to move. The noise came again, but this time it was a very short "eh."

The next time, it was an even longer one, that seemed to continue into a noise I can't really explain. It's weird, because it was audible, but not loud enough to think it was something in the garage. I finish my cigarette, go back inside, and ask my mom if she's hearing what I'm hearing. She immediatley knows what I'm talking about, but says she only hears it in the middle of the night, and only when she's in the garage, not outside.

She goes out to have a cigarette, so I wait in the garage with her. I hear it again. Another "ehh" continued into another sort of moan. She says it's probably just an animal. So I open the back door, flick on the light, and look at where I thought the sound was coming from. Nothing there. So I close the door, and go back in the garage. It stops, for the remainder of the time she's in there.

So I stay in my garage, light up another cigarette, take out my phone, and use the sound recorder on there. Nothing happens for about 2 minutes, and then the noise comes back. It doesn't sound like a distinct animal, but it doesn't sound human either. I catch the noise on sound recording, but play it back to find that I can't hear it. It must have been too quiet.

So I go back upstairs, look online, and just search for "Noises in the middle of the night", "moaning noises at night". I come up with a few things. Foxes, cats, etc etc. Apparently they moan when they're mating. But that's the thing, I looked outside, and didn't see anything. Sure, I've seen cats before around the house, but I didn't see any outside. And there aren't any in my garage, there's just no where a cat would hide in there. I did listen to a cat moaning on youtube though. Sounds nothing like what I heard. Too... human sounding. Which is what bugs me.

It doesn't sound human. It doesn't sound like an animal. What the fuck is it?

Dude, it's this

Spoiler for THE ORIGIN OF THE SOUNDZZ:

If only you understood I'm being serious.

Manbearpig isn't a likely candidate.

Stupid question, but did you have any fans going on? Anything behind the walls? Maybe there is a hole in the side of your house that lets a certain animal crawl inside and it is making the noise from behind the wall?

I have fans, but not in my garage. Nothing except for on the second floor. Nothing behind the walls as far as I know. It's pretty much a wall, insulation, and then the outside. Nothing very big could get in there, and I don't think there's any holes.

My mom says she's been hearing it for a few weeks now, but only at night. That's the thing too. I don't know if it's coming from the wall. At first, I thought it was outside. Then I realized it's too loud to be outside unless it's right up against the wall (which it wasn't). Then I walked over by that wall, and it still sounded distant. It could be in the attic, but it sounded more out than up.

A small, abnoxious bug against a very loud surface maybe? Like a buzzing of a fly against the wall? I dont know if thats very possible, but meh.

What exactly are you doing when this noise comes? Like, do you lean against a part of the car and the noise comes?

Or is it you are smoking, and doing the EXACT same thing like sitting against the same part of the car the whole time, and the noise just comes?

Wayyyy too loud to be a bug. And I'm just sitting in one spot. Not moving. Whatever it is that's making the noise just makes the noise every 45 seconds or so. Maybe a minute or two in between. Sometimes it stops, sometimes not. It wasn't windy either tonight, so nothing that could be in the wind.

I went back out to have another cigarette.

In the time it took me to smoke 2 cigarettes (about 10 minutes), it happened three times. My little brother came out and heard it too. Scared the living shit out of him.

It made two "ehh" noises. The third one (after my little brother left), was another extended moan. I listened closely this time (everything else was dead quiet), and it sounded like an "ehh-oooo". So weirdddd.

**C911** · 08-27-2009 08:39 AM

Seriously, take all the shit out of your garage and find the rodent doing it.

**AURON** · 08-27-2009 08:40 AM

Can you draw us a picture of your house?

Teargas your garage.

**AmazeO XD** · 08-27-2009 11:20 AM

MYSTERY SOLVED!

My dad woke up about 20 minutes ago. I told him to check it out.

We listened. It's a valve on his motorcycle that releases pressure. Lol.

**dorpis** · 08-27-2009 12:56 PM

I was hoping for something cooler. =\

**C911** · 08-27-2009 08:15 PM

And you thought it was a ghost Amazeo.

**Vampyre** · 08-27-2009 08:56 PM

Some things make the weirdest noises sometimes. I remember a while ago thinking I could hear some kind of voices or a radio or something, very faintly. It turned out to be a supersoaker with a slightly open cap.

**TheChosenDreamer** · 08-27-2009 10:59 PM

Oh noez. I'm too late to say it was a grue. CURSE YOU SLEEP! I'll get the next one.

**Tyler** · 08-27-2009 11:54 PM

lol, too bad it wasn't something more interesting.

Also, WOOT 1000 POSTS.

Funny, I thought If you googled moaning noises at night you would come up with.....shall we say....some rather distasteful subject matter.

I was pretty convinced it was something like that. About a week ago, I noticed the same sort of stuff at my house. It freaked me out a little because it was the night of the day the weird cut and paste incident happened in Invader's thread about summoning demons. I typed a long paragraph and highlighted a few sentences to cut and paste. I somehow screwed it up with a wrong wrist move or something and the words "I don't believe in demons" appeared on top of the paragraph. Well, that night I heard beating, whining, and lots of popping (like popcorn) sounds. I hit the internet for answers and investigated my house thoroughly the next day. It turned out that the whining and beating are both the results of my pipes in the attic doing stuff, and the popping is my refrigerator. I can hear my refrigerator doing it right now because my computer is next to the kitchen. The only reason I noticed all the junk that night was that I ordinarily lie in bed listening for demon sounds. I just wait until I'm tired enough to go to sleep and immediately go to sleep. The refigerator sounds never caught my attention before that night because they never mattered.

The moral of the story: Don't assume ghosts and goblins just because you can't explain something.

I never assumed ghosts and goblins.

I just knew it wasn't a person. And it didn't sound like any animal I knew.

I just said, "it wasn't human". Lol, it turned out to be a motorcycle. NOW, IS A MOTORCYLE HUMAN?

I don't think he was saying you did, I think it was supposed to be a general statement. After all, a lot of people LOVE to jump to "ghosts" or whatever crazy nonsense as an explanation.

The fact it turned out to be a motorcycle is hilarious.
I wonder how many ghost storys have started from events with similar very mundane explanations?

Haha, that lead me to believe that he thought I was calling ghosts.

Lol, yeah.. I could see stories coming from that. Except I wasn't a pussy and kept going out there to check it out. But I didn't want to start moving stuff around in case it was a rabbid animal.
