It isn't necessarily the A/C it could just be an air leak from a wind gust. I can easily duplicate it over and over. Make sure all outside windows and doors are shut and close your B/R door just so it touches the door frame then open/close your front door quickly (or even open your outside garage door and then open/close the door from garage into house quickly). You are creating a pressure differential (draft) that can easily move a door. The air comes in the house then gets sucked through the air returns. Our MB/R air return is directly above the BR door.

You said your MB/R DOOR rattled, somehow I doubt a Canaveral launch ~60 miles away will rattle your inside door from outside sound waves. Maybe your windows .... but an inside door doesn't seem logical.
