Knocking in Idaho County, Idaho

My fiancé and I were camping across the road from the Upper Gospel Lake overlook on the western edge of the Gospel Hump Wilderness (Coordinates: 11N 582004 E 5053188 N). We were camping in the bed of our pick-up truck underneath a tarp. During the night I awoke to the sounds of a large animal walking past the truck. My first thoughts were that it was a moose because the impacts of its feet/hooves were those of a heavy animal. I started to raise up to look and my fiance grabbed my arm and asked me to stop because she thought the animal would hear me. The interesting part of this is that she is hearing impaired. She was not hearing the animal walk by, what she told me later is that she heard the animal make a noise that she could not attribute to any animal she had ever heard. She said she felt the sound more than heard it. I should note that I never heard this sound being emitted by the animal, all I heard was the impacts of its feet. After the animal walked away I laid down figuring I missed a good chance to see a moose. Approximately 5 minutes later I heard three very distinctive wood knocks. I had never heard this sound anywhere in the outdoors before this night. The first time I heard this sound other than my encounter was on your Finding Bigfoot TV show.
