Snakes can be heard hissing and slithering across the drywall from the interior of the home.
Their stapes—called a “columella”—is slightly different from ours in that it connects to the jawbone, enabling them to sense vibrations. However, they can only hear a portion of the sounds we hear. Snakes can detect vibrations between 50 and 1,000 Hertz, whereas humans can hear between 20 and 20,000 Hertz.
Fortunately, king cobras are shy and will avoid humans whenever possible. It will also flare out its iconic hood and emit a hiss that sounds almost like a growling dog.
Because snakes don't hear sound vibrations in the air very well, clapping is not an effective way to scare them away. Instead of clapping, try stomping your feet on the ground to produce vibrations that the snake will feel. This will be more effective than clapping.

They are found predominantly in forests of India throughout Southeast Asia to the Philippines. The King Cobra eats other snakes and they even attack larger snakes like python. The easiest way to identify them is through their occipitals or a large pair of scales at the back of the top of the head.

Droppings: Snake droppings are very distinctive. They often look like bird feces, but they sometimes include hair and bones from their prey.
Since we know that the peak sensitivity of a snake's hearing is in the 200 to 300 Hz range and the average human voice is at about 250 Hz, we can determine that a pet snake can, in fact, hear you talking to them.
Not only can snakes be heard moving through the wall, they can also be heard hissing or making other unusual noises.
