Would it freak you out if you regularly heard a noise that sounds like a squeaky hinge, even when you're home alone?

I hear this noise that I can only describe as like a squeaky hinge. When I’m not alone, I ascribe it to the basement door, which does squeak.

Now I’m home alone, the basement door is closed, and I just heard the noise.
There are no neighbors.

Would this freak you out, and what can I now pass the noise off as, since my standby isn’t working?

Thanks to @Squeeky2, this question nearly had a typo in the title.
