Precious Comrade Screamybear wakes me up by sounding like a jackhammer attacking random rooms in my home for at least an hour every morning (www.youtube.com)

A downy woodpecker lives behind my home. The exact moment dawn breaks, it flies around drilling as loudly as a jackhammer outside. It will hit all the trees in the area, so every 20 seconds or so the jackhammer will change to be on the roof or in a different room or behind my car. When it's done feeding, it spends the afternoon aggressively flying around the area screaming at people until sunset.

Precious Comrade Screamybear, the proletariat salutes you for waking me up better than an alarm clock.

Sounds like a machinegun

Part of me wishes I had increased the volume to accurately reflect how loud it is, but then it becomes a jump scare. For the first week I thought someone was doing construction three hours before the nightly noise ordinance lifted until I heard it while outside.
