keep looking, but ...

Responses are, however, much appreciated.

Thanks,

Little brick bungalow in midwest US, built in 1954. Mostly original
stuff. Floor-boards creak a good bit. I'm alone here.

Every night, in bed, I hear a CLUNK from the direction of the
kitchen. Often a second one, not too long after the first. I've
heard it while in the dining room as well. Never while I was in the
kitchen.

I orignally figgered it was in the studs or rafters, possibly
where they attach to the forced-air ductwork. If so, I may never
find the cause.

Fridge is an Amana built around 1984. Has given very good service.

It sometimes sounds like it is coming from the fridge, but I can't
tell for sure. Do they CLUNK when the compressor shuts off?

Any other ideas?

Thx,
Willie

Time to put a mic in various places and compare the sounds afterwards. Say a
night each at each piece of equipment. Keep the record levels constant. Your
computer would likely do the job well plus record the events for
comparisons, etc..
