I don't know what to think but my house keeps making random noises. Tonight there was clicking sounds.

update: I think the house is settling into the foundation. That occurs correct?

Yes

Humidity, Barometric pressure, and Temperature are forces stronger than any building.

Rains or lack thereof causes all buildings to shift. When properly designed and constructed, the entire structure are raises and shifts as one piece, though most residential construction will meet these bare minimum requirements per cost factor.

It's probably nothing to be concerned with, however, if you have access to a local handyman, you might trade a lunch for a quick check of your basic electrical, plumbing and AC system design, all these utilities can cause noises of the strangest kind. Most are not dangerous, but wouldn't hurt to feel safe.
