He felt sure that he heard padded footsteps.

Then the creak of the car door opening, padded footsteps, the scrape of the gate.

Frantically, she groped back toward the costumes, expecting to hear padded footsteps follow.

There was a muted clang of metal and I jumped up in alarm only to hear the padded footsteps slowly moving off along the corridor again.
