In general, we like to identify where a sound is coming from so we know what an appropriate response should be.
If you hear a weird/creepy noise but you look to see that it was your cat being a doofus, you’re put at ease and start laughing because your cat is a doofus. However, when you hear that weird noise and you cannot identify where it came from, your imagination may run a bit wild and, depending on whether or not you’re in familiar surroundings, you may start to become obsessed with where the sound came from.
We’re not really scared of the sound, but what could’ve possibly made that sound.
