I would call a plumber.  Maybe the pipes have a leak and that is the noise that you are hearing.

I bet its a mouse gnawing on something.  They move so fast, they're gone if you go looking for them.

If the noise is during the day, it might just be those BATS scuttering around.  They leave near sunset and return before sunrise.  It happened to me.  Ugh!

Could be a cricket.

SO very sorry!  We had Chimney Sweeps (bird) get into our chimney which sounded awful!  I could hear them through the damper.

 

We have also had a bat get into our master BR and dive bomb us by flying under the tester top.

 

Then, the giant king snake that lived for years in the garage/basement.  (Not poisionious, just big!). We didn't have a single mouse though, and she stayed out of sight.

 

Such is life in the woods!

If you have a fireplace there are certain birds who will nest in the fireplace.

 

Several times over the years we've had to get them out.

 

Also squirrels will get in fireplaces, etc.

 

We've had squirrels get in the attic at our house.  My late husband (as a favor) got squirrels out of the attic even a year after the people moved in a house he built.

Our house was built in 1900 so we always have things to fix.  Earlier this winter I was laying in bed and heard something scurrying above in the attic.  It was so loud, it sounded like it must be at least the size of a large cat.  Sounded so creepy.

 

Hubby investigated and found it was a squirrel and chased it out and and thought he sealed it up from the inside.  That worked for a few months but a few weeks ago, the scurrying was back.  He finally had to go up on the ladder and replace some stuff.  Thank goodness he knows how to do just about everything inside and out or we'd go broke paying people to fix things!

Please @SouthernBee have someone come out and check if you continue to hear something.  A valuable lesson I learned.

So, I'm wondering what kind of sound you are hearing?  I'm thinking it's a chirping sound if you thought it was bird or a frog.

 

Unfortunately, if it's a critter in the wall, you're going to have a problem in a few days.  And it will last a few days.  Sorry!
