What sort of noise?

Could be contraction of the wood following a change from daytime temperature.

Possibly wood-boring beetles?

If it were the Earth's rotation, it would be happening all the time because the Earth is rotating all the time. Ma tv often makes a cracking noise at night a while after it's switched off. Lots of things expand and contract as the temperature changes and furniture and fridges are no different.

Is the item of furniture a clock?

That would explain the tick noise....
