Since I am not married, and dont have kids, I think my reactions are completely different from anyone elses. If I think I heard a noise, then I assume it was real. If I feel threatened by it, I would climb out my window onto the roof of the porch, firearm in hand, drop down to the ground, and proceed to 'clear the area' from the outside in. If the doors are still secure, I climb back up and through the window. If they are not, I call the police, and find a good spot to hide outside, using the breached entry as a choke point until the LEO's arrive.
