    You don't want to put them in the trashcan (unless it's in your room) because then your parents will notice. If there's already trash in the trashcan, stick the wrappers and bottles under something else.

    Step softly on the ground. You can do this by stepping using the balls of your feet. It can help to keep your steps in rhythm, because sudden noises are more likely to draw attention. Try counting 1-2-3-4 steadily in your head, and placing your foot down only on the count of 4.
    • Walk slowly and try not to make the floor creak.
    • Walking close to walls will make less noise, as there will be less strain on the floorboards.

    Don't mess with food wrappers because they will make noise! If you can, try sneaking out quieter foods, such as chewy candy, chewy granola bars, or soft cookies, instead of louder foods like chips, crackers, or foods with crinkly wrappers. If you choose foods that have wrappers or make a lot of noise when you eat them, you'll be more likely to get caught.
