What about the word but in this sentence?
The word "but" is a conjunction joining the two clauses of the compound sentence.
Are the other answers correct? Now I think he began to hear strange noises, but they didn't frighten him is a independent clause (just one and not two)
The other answers are correct. Your last example is two independent clauses.
