I'm not kidding when I say the last one to "knock" sounded more like someone trying to punt our front door -- a loud enough bang that it made us both jump. The fact that you even had to elaborate on unexpected noises like banging and explosions in a thread full of vets is the ridiculous part. I know it varies by region, but when I lived in an apartment building long ago, the unspoken thing with the kids is they'd only knock on the unit doors that were decorated. (in general where I'm from, it's the combination of lights and decorations that signal to the kids that the house is a stopping place) For a while I just put a bowl on an endtable for the kids to help themselves from in order to spare the cats the disturbance of the door banging but that was basically two dozen kids who did the 'home circuit' in the building before they went into the greater neighborhoods to make out like little bandits, and there was always a pile of fullsized bars leftover. Next year though, you should hit the hardware store and get a few pieces of 2" pvc pipe and some bends and couplers and make a little frame that you can fit up against the door on the inside to hang a heavy blanket on. It'll help dull the noises, and then disassemble and tuck out of the way until the next season.
