Since the last 2-3 weeks, this exact sound repeats infrequently from the direction of my neighbor's yard (which is just a pool with concrete). We don't notice it once it's dark out, and are in a dense suburban area.

We thought it may be a rooster or chicken, but it sounds the exact same every time, no variation in pitch/volume. Another theory is a rusty part that's swinging, but then why don't we hear it at night (and why haven't they fixed the damn thing)?

It's annoying, but what's really driving me crazy is not knowing what it is.

It’s so soft, fluffy and cute that I want to have it as a houseplant alongside my other weeds (not the ones you smoke) I have, I haven‘t found a plant that looked like it was ready to flower but I have founds loads of younger plants, I assume that since they grow in a rosette like a succulent for the first year that it would be possible to just take the apical meristem and hopefully try to propagate the bud, if not I will wait for seeds however long that will take or simply taking the plant.
