Glockar-15:
I don't think it's a great idea to be spelunking around in your house in the dark when you had a troubling noise in the middle of the night.
It also doesn't merit a 911 call every time you hear it... because houses just make noise and teenage kids are a PITA when out unleashed in the middle of the night to make relatively harmless trouble.
I'd suggest holing up in one place with your family, or taking up a strong position where you can defend your wife and child, and being absolutely quiet so you can listen to your house. Chances are, nobody is in the house but you don't want to stumble into a criminal from a gut initial reaction to clear your house.
Sit in a strong place, and listen to your house. Give it 10 minutes. If you don't hear anything, then go and check doors and windows.
If you do hear something, then call the police and hold that strong place.
JMO.
Having a dog helps a lot. My lab/mutt mix would let me know if my house was amiss. I feel comfortable investigating night sounds because I can tell if he's keyed up on something or not.
