I've been through several earthquakes here, including the '94 Northridge quake, and most of the sounds were creaking of the house and stuff in it. The house I was in at the time suffered some very minor internal damage (splitting plaster on certain inner walls), as well as stuff shaking loose and falling over. The house next door had its newly constructed chimney knocked loose, and all the bricks ended up in the driveway with a crash. So, basically, my experiences have always been of secondary sounds, not the earthquake itself.
