A woodpecker produces a quick, repetitive "drumming" or "tat-tat-tat" noise by tapping on the trunks of trees or even metal. Drums aren't simply noise, however—drumming is the way that woodpeckers talk to each other, stake out territories, and signal to potential mates. They produce harsh "chirp" or "pik" calls as well, depending on species. The sound is loud, fast, and usually rings through the forest easily. So, if you are hearing a consistent knocking in the woods, then it is likely that a woodpecker is busy at work or making a point!
