Birders who listen carefully to birds quickly learn that there are many different types of bird sounds that have different meanings and uses.
Birds in roof noise.
Birds in the roof many people only realise they have birds in the roof when they are woken up by the noise of nestlings.
Look for systems featuring sound effects specific to the bird you re trying to get rid of.
These birds rarely cause the initial damage which they exploit in their search for nests.

Noises in the attic are worrying and can be an indication that rodents or other wildlife may be living in your roof.
Ultrasonics using high pitched sounds have been known to work.
