It could be a frog.
Here's one that sounds similar. I didn't look very much.

I rule out the pond pump. Can't hear it when the windows are closed? Maybe get an air conditioner so you can close them in the summer.
What types of businesses are they around you (other than simple retail). Do you hear it when the stores are closed? Maybe walk around to the businesses when the honking occurs and see if you can hear it in front of the different stores.

I being plagued by a mysterious honking sound coming from one of the neighboring buildings around me. I live on the second floor of a 3-story walk-up. My bedroom faces a small backyard and the backs of several surrounding buildings which have retail businesses on the ground floor and apts above. I've given up on sleeping in my bedroom and have moved to a futon in the front room because of the intermittent "honking" that is loud enough to wake me up. Here is a 30-second recording of the honking (it contains several episodes patched together that occurred over the course of 15 minutes at 11PM at night):

One neighbor has a small 4'x4' pond with gold fish in it in his backyard which I can see from my window. It has a circulator pump but he insists that is not the source of the sound. I can see the pond and the water ripples do not change when the sound is occurring. I suspect the honking may be some kind of plumbing thing. It seems to occur more during evenings/nights but I hear occasional honks during the day. I'm almost certain it doesn't occurs in winter (though my windows are closed then). Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
