Happens maybe once per day, around 9pm. It goes "tick... tick... tick..." at 2-3 second intervals, and lasts for 5-7 minutes. Then it goes away. It also stops if I get close to the wall, which I tried a few times to try to hear it better.

Is something alive in there? Is it trapped and trying to get out? What the hell is going on???

i was thinking that the ticking might be an auditory hallucination caused by your deep guilt from the murder...its sounding more and more like a ghost to me now

NO ITS LIKELY that you have direct fuel injection these days . the ticking is from the high pressure fuel system, specifically the solenoid in the high pressure fuel pump . ok?

Biscuit Hider
Upstairs neighbor takes a quick shower every night at 9 PM and the ticking is the sound of the pipe expanding because of the warm water. You hear it especially well because the pipe is resting on your wall. When you stand close to hear it, your weight on the floor causes the wall to shift ever so slightly, nudging the pipe and causing the stress on the pipe to dissipate at once.
