    I heard a bang one evening. I think a bird had flown into a window, at an angle, as there was what could be feather oils on the window, not sure though, but it does happen.

    Plastic guttering contracting as the temperature dropped? Can make quite a noise if it feels like it.

    I've still not found anything that could have made the noise. My only guess is a bird flying into a window or a car backfiring, though it didn't much sound like either of those.

    Last week I heard a popping sound and all the electricity tripped. It was the washing machine power switch on the kitchen wall and I had to change the fuse in the plug then untrip the electrics in the fuse box under the stairs.
