A tock tock sound come from inside my bed room

If you have hot water heat (especially if it is an older house), it could just be air and water going through the system. You could have a man come out and drain your pipes. :badgrin:

its a modern house. quite new.
 
You had better hope you don't have that plastic pipe that breaks. I assume that you don't have a crawl space or basement. Otherwise, you could go under the house to investigate. If the house is built on a slab, the water must be accumulating under the flooring or carpeting and you could have lots of problems from that. If the water is getting under the slab, it could attract termites if you live where they are common. They like moisture.
 
The way you describe this, it sounds like a pinhole leak in a pipe joint. The drip is striking a piece of wood framing inside the wall. The leak is not big enough yet to show any sign on your drywall. Small, slow leaks like this can go for months without needing to be repaired, but they do tend to grow larger with time. They sometimes will stop for a while if the wood framing within the wall expands to move the pipe slightly, thus closing off the pinhole. Thereafter it may stop and start randomly.
 
If it is a leak, even a pinhole one, you're gonna wanna get that fixed asap. The longer you wait, the higher the chance of leaked water becoming a mold issue and that's not healthy. If the water is left unchecked you will eventually need to replace any drywall that the water may have come in contact with.

As a landlord, trust me... these problems are almost always cheaper to fix immediately.
 
Bang the wall where you can hear it. If it stops for a short while then continues it could well be an insect.

Mold? What's that? (Only joking with you. I live in the SW where we have like 4 percent humidity so it would not become a mold issue here.) The OP lives in Australia. It was pretty dry when I was there so it might not be an issue for him.

Some contractors have micro cameras with fiber optics. They can open a lightswitch or plug panel and sometimes see amazing things without having to tear open a wall.

what contractors are you talking about?
Are they plumbers or a handyman?
 
Now i know the sound is not from water dripping. :)

It is something to do with electrical thing because when i switch off the main power switch board the sound is gone but the sound is back when the switch board is on.
 
The only time I've ever heard electricity make a tock sound is when it's shorting, and then it usually doesn't last long because the short trips the breaker. You should probably get that checked out quickly.

Last time I heard a relentless ticking coming from my kitchen after 3 days I found a clock in the cupboard. For the life of me I don't know where it came from.

The house being a good house or not isn't the point Telstra. The point is that before you invest or purchase a property it is common sense to have a survey completed by an independant contractor, to make sure the house you are buying is structurally sound and that there is nothing wrong with minor things like plumbing and wiring etc.

Didn't you have anyone tell you about this.. the bank, your family, your real estate agent?

Did you do any research on the house at all?

everything is under control. No need to worry. ;)
 
in other words check for an appliance.

once, we had a bunch of cats.
one crawled into the attic space beyond human reach and
had a large litter of kittens.
during the night, i heard several mewing,
crawling to the edge of the wall,
falling in with the sound of kitty claws
scratching on the sheetrock, and
thump when they hit the crosspiece.

my sister slept in the room next door.
she stayed home from school the next day;
while everyone was away during the day
she took a hammer to MY wall.

it's way past time for me to tell her
how much I love her
for that.
 
Sounds like a leak, which will severely damage if you don't fix it...
