Mice can send up shivers on someone’s back when someone hears mice chewing and gnawing and this is not surprising at all because there happens to be a critter a night doing something you cannot see at all. Hearing mice might induce feelings of anxiety, panic and fear, and at that moment, you might feel completely powerless, and this is very understandable seeing that there isn’t a straightforward solution available when you hear a mouse chewing away in the dead middle of the night so what can you do against it?

Gnawing
The most well-known sound that mice make is the sound of them gnawing and this is actually a necessity. You see mice, they need to gnaw on things to keep their incisors functional and this is why they have the habit of chewing things like soft metals and wood. They cannot stop this habit because it would mean they couldn’t function anymore. Mice can be even heard gnawing behind the wall!
Pitter-Patter
Do you hear rapid movements from behind the wall or from any other room, what you might be hearing are the footsteps of mice? These sounds are also heard from above the ceiling so don’t be too scared when you heart something coming from upstairs. The reason is that mice use the ceiling as a quick network to go and come from their nests. Once all the mice are gone, pitter-patter will stop!
Squeaking
Is the mouse’s way of speaking and communicating. Especially the house mouse communicates this way, but this does not mean that you will hear them chirping away constantly as birds do, but when you hear a mouse squeaking, that is usually an indication that there is more than one mouse present. They can even chirp!
