I'm shocked that it isn't a common occurence. I was expecting a lot
of "Yeah, I hear that all the time."

I've discussed it with my sisters and pretty sure it is either
ghosts or really unusual atmospheric conditions that amplify an actual
car door slamming about a mile or two away and make it sound like it
is in the front yard. Kind of like the Marfa lights.

It only happens in the heat of a hot summer day - no wind, no ac.
Windows open. And only maybe once or twice a month.

Multiple people in the house hear it.

The house is about 3 miles from a small mountain range on one side
and on the upper edge of a small valley and creek on the other side

Sound travels down that valley very easily and also on real still
nights you can hear the radio in truckers cabs from 3 miles away on
the hwy.

Well, I'd rule out the ghosts were I you. This just goes to show that
even if you move out to the boonies you are still maybe going to have
noise issues. I'd swap you mine, though. My real estate's expensive, but
my house run down. My brother lives where the land isn't as valuable,
but his house is pristine. I tell him he should be grateful it's so
quiet (I've never noticed noise issues when staying with him). I don't
know if he appreciates that.
