Hoofs are at the bottom part of horse's feet.
In the poem The listeners, plunging hoofs are described because narrator is retreating softly so that the listening spirits don't get disturbed.
Narrator does not want to disturb other spirits in the house, so he's going back on foot besides his horse.
The narrator shouts repeatedly and loudly, but does not get any response.
This means that the lonely house is empty and only spirits reside there.
