Or when the lights are turned on and off in different combinations, or when
the furnace cycles. When it happens that quickly, it's much more likely a
temperature than humidity reaction. Spruce reacts to temperature too, as
does music wire, cast iron and (presumably) select hardwood (like what's in
my head), only the reaction to temperature is considerably faster than to
humidity.
