Eventually, you'll find ways to reduce them (that microwave plate was a good example) ...for example, ours has a metal lid over the stove burners that's a real rattler unless we stow a rubber dish drain mat inside to cushion it. You'll soon tune routine noise out and only detect the unusual ones. We often hear a bang that comes as a result of "someone" forgetting to lower the toilet lid.
