Unexplained noises refer to sounds that cannot be easily identified or attributed to a specific source. These sounds can occur in various environments, such as homes, workplaces, or natural settings. Common examples include creaking floors, tapping sounds, or distant thuds. People often report these noises during quiet times, leading to curiosity or concern. The causes of unexplained noises can range from natural phenomena, like wind or animal activity, to structural issues in buildings, such as settling or plumbing. In some cases, psychological factors, like heightened awareness during silence, may also contribute to the perception of these sounds.
