Why does part of my house smell like burnt fire in one side of the house/room? Is it the AC?

Hi, my house in the master’s bedroom smells burnt like fire. My dad described it to be a popcorn smell but my parenrs tried locating the smell everywhere. It’s mostly in the master’s bedroom. It smelled in smaller rooms and the hallway. It wasn’t in the kitchen because I heated up ice cream to eat (yes, I heat up ice cream so it can melt and be easier for the ice cream to put on cones). My siblings wanted it.
And the burnt smell started smelling afterwards after the AC turned on and the microwave was off. We checked the laundry room, the washer and dryer but they were off. The stove is off in the kitchen. Everything was off except for two tvs, and my siblings ran out of their room because their tv turned off by itself like it logged them out, so they ran crying to our parents. I wasn’t with them at the time, but the smell didn’t come out of their tv because I checked both tvs and the xboxes were a little bit hot, so we turned them off and then again, the smell of burnt was there again because our mom said. It’s in the master’s bedroom, and I kind of smell it in my room as well.
[b]Edit:[/b] The smell isn’t there anymore so it was an on off situation here.
I’ll tell you in order:
1. I put ice cream in the microwave to melt it
2. I put it there for 15 seconds then got it out and then added a few time in there for about 5 s
then got it out.
3. I put the ice cream in cones for my siblings and I to eat them.
4. I went to the master bedroom where half of my family was in. Then my dad noticed it smelled like burnt popcorn. Then the rest of the family including me noticed it.
5. The smell was in the whole room and we started checking everything from outlets plugs the AC and everything we could think of.
6. The smell went into the smaller rooms and the hallway.
7. We checked the laundry room too in case we missed anything but no, the clothes in there were fine. It was already off and it was opened but nobody remembered who opened it.
8. We closed it but it wasn’t left on or anything.
9. I checked the xboxes but they felt a little bit hot.
10. My siblings ran away from their room, and I heard some weird sound like a sizzle or snake hiss and I personally thought it was outside from the AC unit thing outside but it wasn’t. My siblings were freaking out crying and my parents checked their room, and we all went there but found nothing. It was odd.
11. Then we turned off all tvs and pulled out some plugs.
12. We headed for bed in case and one last time checked. Then, my mom smelled the burnt smell again in the master bedroom including my sister. My dad went out again and checked the master room, the bathroom, everything, but it was nothing.
13. I’m in my room but smell nothing anymore.
Are we concerned over nothing? By the way, whenever our AC turns on, it makes the light bulbs flicker for a few seconds then it stops when it actually turns on. The washer/dryer makes the guest bathroom lights flicker once every milisecond and its vibrations from the washer/dryer system are noticable. We can hear and feel it and see the lights move to the beat of them...


Are we going to blow up? Thanks for your time and patience, and thanks in advance for your responses.

I can tell you that something like that happens at the beginning of the winter when I fire up my forced hot air heat system. Is it dust? No idea, but if you want a clean bill of health, get a pro to look at it.
