It's likely that the owl has just found a new home near your house and is possible trying to protect some of its young. Leave the owl well alone and do not try and domesticate it. The owl will eventually leave people alone, live comfortably and move on in its later life. It's nothing worry about it.
Some people like to have 'conversations' with owls, though, and you're in the perfect position to do so. You should research the kind of owl that is hanging around your home. Stand outside your house and make sure you listen carefully to the kinds of noises that it is making. Many owls hoot, but others can make hissing noises. Other owls even sound like dogs barking or horses neighing - they make quite diverse noises.
Then when you have studied the owls and you have heard the sound of the owl, you should wait a moment and then call the owl back. You simply need to imitate the sound and the tone that he owl makes, as well as the pitch and the volume of the bird's call. It doesn't need to be perfect, just do it as best you can and wait for a reply. It may take a moment to get a reply, but when the bird does hoot back to you, make sure you return the call again. You should take your time when you're responding, as that's what owls do naturally anyway.
Just continue the conversation with the owl, and be sure to match the sound as close as you can. The owl may come closer to you and if that's the case then you will hear the call getting louder and louder.
