Every couple of years for awhile now I'll be surprised in hearing a snap, clunk and strange scuffling sound in the house.

It's one of those tape collar-seals breaking spontaneously, at which point the hung reel falls to the floor and takes off across the room, generally unwinding the tape as it goes.
