We had many (often acrimonious) discussions about the inadvisability of going to investigate a noise. For example, see
this thread and the threads linked to in post 12.
In general, if there's an intruder, and you go looking for him, you are at a significant tactical disadvantage. You can easily be flanked or ambushed. Sometimes going for a look will be necessary, e.g., if there are family members who need to be accounted for. So we should all get some good training in house clearing so that we know how to go about it if it's unavoidable.
