Explanation:

- For: Generally used to indicate a purpose, duration, or reason. It does not suit the context of indicating a specific time at which an event occurred.

- About: Often used to indicate approximation, but not typically to specify a time when an event took place.

- By: Commonly used to specify a deadline or a time by which something occurs, but not to indicate the timing of an event itself.

- At: Used to indicate a specific point in time. In this context, it suggests a specific time after midnight when the noise was heard.

Therefore, "At" is the appropriate choice to fill in the blank.
