If it's noisy during roughly the same time as your furnace is
running then there's a good chance it's his furnace running.

Probably running less as they'd have the temp down while it's
unoccupied & one cannot know how much more or less well
insulated that house is vs yours.

Plus there's no source of humidity, so the air doesn't hold the
heat as long, the furniture & etc aren't there to store energy,
& people are there to add heat from cooking & showers.

OTOH, if no people then doors aren't being opened to release
heat.
