The most commonly heard sound of the Asian House Gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) is a series of soft chirping or 'chapping' calls. These sounds are a familiar noise at night in many parts of tropical Asia.
The Asian House Gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) [also known as the Common House Gecko, Wall Gecko, House Lizard or Moon Lizard] is found throughout South-east Asia, Bangladesh, parts of India, and in recent years has become established in northern Australia. This common species adapts well to urban environments and is often found in buildings in villages, towns and even busy cities. This species can frequently be seen climbing along walls or ceilings in search of insects attracted to lights.

Dude, I have been hearing this sound for months and thought there was some kind of bird living in the wall 😂 Now I know that it is that cute gecko I am seeing regularly. Thanks.

Same! I’ve heard the noise randomly for a year in our home in Queensland and wasn’t sure if it was geckos, birds or possums. It’s such a cute and pleasant noise, love the geckos even more now ❤😊

In Bengal, there's this belief that geckos are the ultimate arbiters in a debate, since their call can sound to some as a 'thik', which means 'correct' in Bengali. Whoever made the last argument before a gecko call is correct.

I live in HK. Have spotted a few geckos in my office. And then today while I was on a zoom call, i heard something like this near me. I thought it was some noise from my computer, but now I know it's my little reptile friends telling me that they liked my presentation. 😂

We have lots of these cute geckos in El Salvador. We call them "tira besitos" because their calls is like the sound of someone throwing kisses. I even learned to mimic their sound and I could get them to call back sometimes. It was always good to have them around as pests control, but eventually there were none left in the house because our cats ate them lol.

In Thailand atm and wanted to confirm what these geckos sounded like, have a few "pets" in my house, I'm all for having them around because the bug situation is pretty crazy here, especially in the countryside. Can never get used to their little heads poking out from behind my mirror or laptop and saying "hello~!". Trips me out every time. Thanks for posting this!

It sounds differently than the Mediterranean house gecko we have in Greece. Although they are in the same genus, this one has a higher pitch and sounds more like a bird or something metallic. The Mediterranean one has a lower pitch and sounds more like a frog.
