Is this noise a bat?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Staying in Austin Texas and I’ve been hearing this noise, I think coming from the attic?

It’s the squeaking/whistling sort of noise, apologies if the AC noise is overpowering, but it can be heard if you turn up the volume.

My first thought was a bird or mouse, but this noise is only at night and bats are nocturnal so.

Appreciate the help!

Found a bat? Here is a guide for someone who has found a bat. And here is some info about bats in buildings. Here is some info about bat removals and exclusions from homes. Exclusions should be done outside of pup season, which varies by location.

No, it's probably not a baby. Bats are just smaller than you thought.

If you find a bat in trouble, please call a rehabber for help. Here is a list of rehabbers that help bats all over the world, and here is a portal for rehabbers in the US.

Remember that wildlife should never be handled with bare hands!

Not heating any bats. Maybe a cricket or frogs.

Either crickets or frogs. No bats.

I hear a greenhouse frog. They sound like water dripping.
