The last 3 or 4 times I have visited them I have heard a thud, and the

The freezer starting up?

I see what you mean, and maybe Nick had this in mind too. It might
account for the timing intervals, the inrush surge of the motor
starting acting as the cartelist to set whatever it is off upstream.

The inrush for an induction motor can be enough to dim the lights for
the whole house just on its own...

Still odd though because where I hear the noise is not between the
kitchen and the CU, Quite the opposite direction in fact.
