It went on for about 2 hours at like 15 minute intervals.. at 3 o'clock in the morning. Well I moved into a new apartment and it has a kinda wooded area behind it. This noise sounded like one of those kid's bicycle horns but was VERY loud, lasting like 1.5-2 seconds each noise. I dont think someone was making that noise.. but I could also describe it as a airhorn sound, but not really. What is this making the noise?

Sorry Northeastern Ohio, USA. I am almost sure it is not someone doing it.

It sounds like a skunk mating call. They sound like that and only do it at night.

It sounds like you have what is known as the Hyla cinerea - Green Treefrog
It's call is a short nasal "quonk." Also sounds a little like an old-time squeeze bulb bicycle horn. You can usually hear them call May through August, with a peak calling period in June and July. Mainly a resident of the Coastal Plain of west Tennessee.

Well when ever you get the chance go in your backyard to see what the noise is. Probably just some punk **s kids playing a prank.

Could be an owl; they can make very spooky and loud sounds at night. We have some that live in the woods nearby. There's nothing quite like waking up to a good "OOH OOH OOOWAH!!!!!!!" at 3am!

That is a VERY distinctive noise! I would guess that it was some sort of bird. What continent was this on?

Are you sure there isn't a farm back there? It sounds like you're describing a donkey's braying sound.
