The reason I check it because I heard some clicking noise every night. So I just check it out and find some metal sticks piercing from the roof. I live in the 5th floor of the brand new apartment (top floor). Appreciate you guys can let me know what it is. Thank you very much Re: What is this metal stick under the roof?
