:: floors can bounce up and down from a person walking.

During the times of the Samurai, the Japanese
 used to have a Nightingale floor, special floor made of wood, 
designed to creak and 'sing' if someone walked on it.

The target customer being a paraniod Samurai who feared being killed 
in his sleep - the floor would wake him or his guards if such a thing 
were attempted.

I wonder if the knowledge exists to build one today?
