    I once lived in a house that I was building, where the mice would push a myrtle nut (which is about acorn sized) up into a corner between stud and plate so they could work on chewing through the hull. Each one took them quite a long time. I eventually learned to sleep through it.

    I had an air compressor hooked up in the living room / cabinet shop. One night when my parents were visiting, I forgot to turn it off, and a bit after midnight it started up, to repressurize its tank. Very loud. My mother’s voice was heard saying “What was THAT‽‽” to which my father’s voice replied “Dunno. Hope it doesn’t have friends.”

    Opal still doesn’t know where the noises are coming from.

    She does have the added worry that it could be something really bad.

    I once woke up in the middle of the night to an indistinct sound that I couldn’t identify. Went from room to room trying to figure out at least where it was coming from, but it always seemed to be in whatever room I was checking at the time.

    Finally identified it. It was my stomach rumbling.

    Opal never sleeps again, loses 60 pounds and becomes a Senior Citizen fashion model.

    That is why I use a fan for white noise, year round, no matter how cold.

    Had river rats in our shared attic (1/2 a double-which was abandoned). Had to leave for several days until the exterminators got them. They made a racket up there.

    It could be burglars, would you get up and check it out, Opal?

    And with that thought, Opal stared at the ceiling all night, waiting for it to cave in on top of her…..

    My husband used to scratch the wall behind our bed when I was asleep and tell me it was rats climbing around in there. I believed him because we had had rats in the attic.

    My husband and I were in a motel south of San Diego when the big earthquake his Los Angeles. The door and windows in the room rattled so loud it woke us up. I’m from CA near the San Andreas fault and had felt many earthquakes, and my subconscious told me it was a little one (way down there, at least) and not dangerous. I turned to my New England husband and said “It’s ok dear, it’s just an earthquake, go back to sleep.” He’ll never let me live that one down! He was rigid for the rest of the night, and when we turned on the tv the next morning LA was in ruins.
