All of these prepositions are incorrect. No preposition is used in the idiomatic phrases go out(side)/go in(side)/go home.

I wouldn't use any preposition at all.
Simply say:
Dad went outside to see what the noise was about.
There are some more complex constructions—when talking about going from the inside to the outside, for instance—where a preposition could be used, but those don't apply to this simple sentence.
