Please help us identify this bird https://clyp.it/rdl1diyi (the sound is better after 14 seconds)
This one has been a headache for us, starting to sing at the most awkward of times disturbing our sleep, be it 10 PM, 2 AM or 4 AM, and it goes forever.
We live in small town called Booie in the South Burnett area, Queensland.
Willy wag tail. I typically here one at those times as well.

Thank you so much, that's exactly what it is.
Now I need to find a way to make it quite
I have know idea of how to keep it quiet. But I just got used to them after a wile.

Making birds quiet is possibly a question of perspective. If you are able to see the Willie Wagtail as a beautiful part of the environment which helps to keep pest insects under control rather than as a nuisance which keeps you from having a good night's sleep then you are more likely to sleep peacefully.
Tell me, Senuhy, how much ecological or environmental knowledge & understanding do you have? Heaps? Some? Not much? None at all? I suggest that the more understanding of the environment you have the more soundly you'll sleep while the Willie Wagtail is chirrping.
Unlike common starlings. Found a way to keep them quiet.

Very well put Woko, I totally agree, if you see these 'common' birds and a pesterance and annoying they will have a negative effect on you, however if you train yourself to look at how the Willie Wagtail is a beautiful creature of nature you will get used to it and even enjoy it.
I love the sound of Willie Wagtails in the dead silence of early morning. It is almost hypnotic IMO.

The Willy wag tail at my place sounds like its say “who’s a pretty creacher creacher” herd it this morning actually.
