Describe the bug

NPCs don't always return to their default location after investigating a noise.
Since the player can't push or swap places with neutral characters it's possible for a doorway or corridor to end up blocked.

Appears to only concern Guards, Mercs, Beggars and NPCs in the large middle room when tested in the Refugee Center.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Create a character with a watch, "Safe Place" scenario and location "Refugee Center" (not necessary but makes testing faster).
  2. Open the Debug menu and select Map -> Generate sound.
  3. Select a tile within the building and make a sound loud enough to be heard by the whole Center (went with 20).
  4. Repeat 2 and 3 a handful of time with a few seconds of interval.
  5. Open wait menu, select "Wait a while" then at least 5 minutes.
  6. Check on the NPCs.

Screenshots

An example of how many NPCs can end up being displaced after investigating sounds and not returning to their post.
For context that character used the Refugee Center as a base for over a week.

it happens the same with NPC from mods, the worst part is that it happens with trader NPC too so if they dont return you cant buy any of their wares
