it makes that clicking noise because you touch yourself at night
The clicking sound could be from your heater, a clock or other device.
I just had this expirence last night it was horrible
Tapetum lucidum
The very rare and dangerous snukki!!
Many crickets, frogs, cicada, owls, etc.. can make loud clicking noises at night. It's that sound you hear on a hot southern night that can put you to sleep. BUT, what happens when you hear a "clicking" noise that is out of the norm? This is a LOUD click 20-30 times over and over, not in three's (it almost does not sound like it could be from an animal; more like a machine, but it is not)! I would appreciate a response that makes sense i.e. it's not a cricket or a cicada (even when cicada have a specific call, this is not what I am talking about). Possibly certain species of owls at certain times of year? bats? snakes?
I have the exact same question! It just flew around overhead - clicking and clacking! So strange! I'm in Northern Calif - Bay Area. It appeared to be light in color.
A panther is a cat. Which means it's a night animal.
Possoms are nocturnal (active at night)
The ones that makes the sound are mechanical vs digital. The sound you hear is the second hand clicking as it's movement is controlled in duration ffor precision so it falls into place but can only go so far.
The animal's eyes glow in the night.
