Responses are, however, much appreciated.

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?

Unplug the fridge. It'll stay cold overnight (If it doesn't, get a new
one. You're throwing money away.)

If you don't hear the thump, it's the fridge.

If you do, it ain't.
