Once inside, it makes more sense to proceed quietly and clear the building room by room because they don't know how many zombies there could be in other parts of the house. Going carefully door by door allows them to use the natural choke points of the building as crowd control in the event they come across a room full of the undead, rather than just crashing their way through, unintentionally drawing out a pack of zombies, and getting swarmed.
Then again, I could be way off base. This is a show where characters make irrational decisions and are wildly inconsistent and I'm probably putting too much thought into this. It seems that very little makes sense in the zombie apocalypse.

If there are none in the main areas when they're coming in, how many could possibly be hiding in the individual rooms? Not like you're going to find a dozen in the bathroom or something. Three max in a bedroom, and probably only one or two.
Besides, what you said is a contradiction anyway, if they're banging on the main door, why not just bang on the bedroom door to sound check it that way? Why change strategies?
I know it comes down to building suspense, but it's a lazy writing thing, nothing more.
