noisy stairs, contextual signalling

In The Brides of High Hill, there is a set of stairs that makes a sound when an unwary person steps on them. Once cleric Chih discovers this, they note it and remember to jump over the stairs to avoid alerting others.

I have experienced situations where someone quietly jumped over the stairs, both to avoid calling attention to themself and to inform their peers. Those who would react to the sound are usually oblivious to the silences and their meaning.
