The “chirping” you may be hearing is probably an alarm call; it may be made by a cardinal. They will make these noises at night when they've been disrupted/disturbed, which could be for a multitude of reasons, mostly due to some sort of perceived threat or intruder.

Listening to their calls may provide a clue; the male has a slower, low-pitched honk and the female makes a "hink" noise, higher-pitched and faster than the male's. If you come across geese in a nesting situation, the goose on the nest will be the female, tending to her eggs.

How does the echolocation work? Oilbirds emit short bursts of clicking noises, which bounce off of objects in the animals' paths, creating echoes. The echoes return to the birds' ears at different levels of loudness and intensity. The larger the object, the more sound waves that are deflected, making the echoes louder.

Geese and swans say "honk"... right? Well, for the most part that is true, but although many geese do honk and most ducks do quack, others make altogether different sounds. Some geese cackle and cluck like hens and chickens.

"People find birdsong relaxing and reassuring because over thousands of years they have learnt when the birds sing they are safe, it's when birds stop singing that people need to worry. Birdsong is also nature's alarm clock, with the dawn chorus signalling the start of the day, so it stimulates us cognitively."
