Pops and creaks

[slythy]

I have a 180g aquarium and everyonce in a while I hear a pop or a creak. The tanks on a steel stand with a wood top, floor underneath has jacks under the joists. All silicone still looks flawless. Its random and every once in a while. It is disconcerning but its been doing that for 4-5 years lol.

I cant pinpoint if its pumps, lights, light fixtures, plumbing, UV’s, electronics etcs lol

Anyone elses tank do this?

I take it you don't have an Emperor Angel? You'd hear the sound (grunts) of falling rocks.

Hope you get to the bottom of it.

Its pretty mechanical sounding. Ill know if it ever fails. But it could also be fish or one of my 6 mp40’s as well

All wooden floors creak as temperature and humidity vary.

Trochus snails are more like twisting scraping.

My house is always popping and creeping.

my metal stand makes crack sounds and it always make me think the tank just broke

I've never had a stand make such noises. Are you sure this isn't a pistol shrimp or Mantis making the "pops"?

The only noise I ever hear from my aquarium is from my pistol shrimp.
