this is probably a dumb question but we moved into our house about 6 months ago and every night I hear this faint clicking/ticking sound and it's driving me a little crazy trying to figure out what it is. it's not loud at all, more like a soft tick tick tick. happens mostly when it's quiet and late. my partner says I'm overthinking it and it's just the house settling but idk that feels like a cop out answer lol. is this a thing? like do houses just make noise? or should I be looking into something specific. pipes, HVAC, something else? first time homeowner so I genuinely have no idea what's normal
