I think it would depend on the circumstances what you would do in that situation. You don't get the police to come just by saying "I heard a noise"... and you can't just ignore it either if you think you might be threatened. So what do you do... you try to figure out where the sound is coming from. What I WOULDN'T do would be to open the door, leave the house with the door wide open and yell "HELLO!"... as it's been seen countless times in horror movies.
Edit: One night someone was messing with the lock in the door of my apartment, and although I did have my phone in my hand, ready to dial the police, I banged on the door and yelled "I've called the police!"... in case the guy thought I wasn't home and I could scare him off like that... which I did. It turned out to be a neighbour who had mistaken my door for his own, but he did panic and run out of the building, losing his key on the floor on his way out so he couldn't get back in LOL!
