Can anything be done about this LOUD bird?

One option if you haven't tried it yet and can identify where the bird likes to hang out, is to get reflective mobiles or strips to hang in the area. Search on amazon for something like "reflective strips to repel birds". These were recommended to us by a tree company in an effort to stop wood pecking birds that were destroying our trees. The goal is to make the bird think the space is occupied and go somewhere else. It won't harm the bird, but also won't keep it from making noise -- but hopefully good get it to make the noise farther from your bedroom window

They were here first.

He ain't getting laid, is he?

Probably a mocking bird. They are looking for dates this time of year. It will stop.

This is probably illegal under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act

Don’t ask don’t tell.

It’s such a high-pitched chirp that I can hear it over my loud fan! I think it sits on my roof and in the trees close to my house, likely has a nest nearby. It didn’t stop until 1am last night and started up again around 4am, and then constantly all day long (I WFH.)

Why is it doing this? How can I make it leave? I don’t even care if it dies at this point, which is horrible, but I’m exhausted. Scaring it away hasn’t worked; I’ve tried clapping pie pans, spraying it with water, etc. it just leaves only to come back. Help!

Get the Merlin app and try to ID the culprit.

Or use the Merlin app to identify by sound.

This. We had a mockingbird going to town every night but he/she left after a few weeks.

Aww, the bb gun suggestion made me think of my mom, who used to sit on her back porch with an old daisy air rifle and shoot the canada geese that were pooping all over the lawn. "Only two pumps though." I told her it was giving Ma Clampett, and she said "there are worse grannies to be compared to."

(It worked-- after she plinked a few a couple times (never killed any) they moved on.)

I'm surprised people don't even bother to identify the bird. Wrens are pretty loud but they are cute and one of my favorites. Breeding season is April to July. Usually they stop making noise at dark and don't start until 5 or 6 am. Live and let live. Learn about them. You might actually start to become a sentient human being.

And be confident in knowing what your favorite color is. Green? No, Blue?

Do this. 3 pages and no one gave you any links. We have bought deterrents more than once and they work, when a woodpecker was incessantly going at it on our gutters every morning and then when a group was popping all over our driveway. Scare eye balloons also work.

We hung these all over the trees in our yard. Put then on your house.

Put the free Merlin app on your phone. Record it. It will identify the bird. Tell us what it is we may have better advice.

Are you sure it's a real bird? Some sneaky looking drones out there now.
