I’ve moved into a new place that was built end of last year and have been hearing ticking noises (upstairs only) throughout the day at random times. Heating or cooling is switched off. I’ve uploaded two short clips to hopefully illustrate the issue. The issue seem to happen the most during the day, but – not as loud – has also recently started happening early in the morning (1am – 3am) which has woken me up a couple of times.
Does anyone know where this might be coming from and how to fix it?

At 2am, this is almost certainly the roof itself (or the gutters) cooling down overnight and contracting. Ticking during the day would be the roof expanding in the heat.
A 13C temperature range is quite enough to do this.
There probably isn't a fix. If it is a gutter you might be able to lubricate where it passes through the brackets.
