And I'm not even kidding.
Over the past few days, every so often, sometimes once a day, sometimes every 15-20 minutes over a couple of hours, we hear this FAARRRRTT from the corner of our house while being out and about on the 1st floor, typically in the evening but also during the day (rarely). In that corner, there is absolutely nothing on the 1st floor that can produce any sounds: 1) a closet with clothing and underwear; 2) a wardrobe which is mostly full of children's toys, and an accordion. A bathroom is nearby but the sound is not coming from that direction, and again, there is nothing in the bathroom that can do it.
In the basement right underneath the area where the sound comes from, there are: 1) scrap wood from a bedroom renovation project I completed a few months ago; 2) split and seasoned wood logs; 3) log splitter (very similar to http://www.logsplittersdirect.com/Powerhouse-FX128-Z-Log-Splitter/p3215.html but not the same make/model); 4) our central HVAC system. The outdoors AC unit is right across the wall in the yard, but I don't think its sounds would be so audible inside the house, with the windows closed and all.
It's a Trane XV95, with gas heating and AC, central air system. It works perfectly, has a new high quality filter from Home Depot as of ~1 month ago. I'd like to say that I've never heard the sound while the heat is on, but can't guarantee that to be a 100% accurate observation.
Basically, while it's off, it farts for no good reason, on no set schedule - like irregular fast-food/beer/popcorn consumption causing flatulence? Except it's an HVAC system.
Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
