Anyone heard a death watch beetle in their walls?

For as long as I can remember I’ve heard ticking sounds in walls.
For a while, I thought it was a spirit and I use to ask it questions, it would tick once for yes and twice for no. I now wonder if that was just the process of my over active imagination. However, now as a 40-year-old I am typing this and listening to this same ticking sound. It’s constant, this sound has been going all night, it will stop but then starts up again. If I put my ear to the wall to have a good listen it stops. It’s like a very fast clock and then sometimes will slow down. I’m in NZ – does this sound like a deathwatch beetle? I rent this house – should I tell the landlord?
