with a Strange Noises???
Hive you ever been left alone at honne? If you have, you
know that sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's not.
Often it's not fun because it's scarey: Everyone gets
scared when they hear strange noises. Houses make quite
a din in November.
Believe it or not, the spooky creaks and groans you
hear in November can be explained. A strange noise-isn't
frightening if you know what it is. Not many people are :
afraid of a familiar noise.
In the fall the weather changes. It becomes cold and
wind begins to blow. When weather changes from hot to
cold-everything has to-adjust-to-the-new-temperatu
Thisadjus tment-isnoisy. When-summer breezes become
fall gusts, houses make quite a racket.
When water gets cold it takes up more space. You can
test this by comparing the water level of warm water in
an icecube tray with the water level of frozen water.
Water expands when it becomes cold.
Many things , contain water; cement, bricks, wood and
even the ground your house is on. When these' things
become cold, the water in them expands. Some things
don't like to expand, so they creak, groan, crackle, boom
and moan.
That big boom in the basement is not necessarily a
monster. It may be 'the cement floor shifting. The water
in the ground expands and pushes the floor up so far that
it cracks. That creak from upstairs is probably not a
robber. The water in floorboards expands and makes the
wood groan.
When winter aproaches there is a lot more wind. That
noise you hear , isn't someone crawling up the walls of
your house — it's the wind rnakin,7. .a tree scratch the
bricks. Gusts can also make windows rattle if they're not
in their frameslightly. Many noises are 'just the wind.'
If you are alone in your house, and hear very strange
noises, don't be scared. It's just your plice settling in for
the winter.
