Hi. When we had movement in SW NH from the Maine earthquake a while ago, I didn't recognize it. Indeed, my house moved, but it was a little too weird for me.
Last night I did not feel any movement, but I noticed pulsating noises coming from the center of my house. Also, in the first case my older home spewed several decades of hidden dust into the air and that also happened last night.
Anyone else??? (No wisecracks about my needing to dust more often!!! )
Nothing in Tamworth happened but that is typical. I see nothing on the news either. You might investigate items that heat your house and assorted other machines if any in the cellar.
Do you happen to have any wood fired heating? i almost wonder if you had a chimney fire..... A good hot fire in the chimney will made noises something like a freight train, but if you had a less fire like that it may have made a different sound. it is a woof woof or huff huff kind of noise.
Rapidly moving air makes the noise as the fire fans up hotter, then there is too much air and the fire gets lean (not enough fuel) and the air slows rapidly until the burn gets a bit more fuel and a bit more energy requires more air and then you get the next huff.
This repeats until the fuel is exhausted or the house burns down.
This will send showers of dust thru out the house too. In some cases that will mean a chimney liner made of steel or tile has worn out and air is moving thru the entire side walls of the chimney masonry both ways and you may see dark creosote stains on the bricks in any exposed places, and in the attic.
I can't know with the little you said.... I could be way off..... But if i am not, you have some ideas now as to what you should be looking at. Having a house burn down would probably give you a bad hair day.

Thanks for the suggestion. No wood burning here. I did check the basement and discovered that two of the cracks (one wall, one floor) that became evident after the first quake are now more noticeable.
lol Maybe it was just on my property!! Just kidding... something will turn up sooner or later.

It's entirely possible that your foundation or the surrounding earth shifted/resettled, particularly given the recent thawing and subsequent movement of water and frozen earth...

Maybe it really was just on your property?
