For the last few months I have been waking up with the central heating system each morning. From what I can gather, tthe noise only occurs when the central heating is hot/warming up and it sounds loudest from this corner.
When I 'push' on the wall, it makes the same sort of noises that occur from the central heating system. If I put pressure on the wall when the central heating system is on, it stops the noise, but when I lift off it comes back.
All this makes me guess that the noise is caused by the hot pipes expanding and putting pressure on the walls. I am tempted to resort to chiselling out aroudn the pipes to expand the wall holes so that there is _no_ contact with the pipes.
Before I go about doing this, can anyone offer any advice or suggestions on if this will likely cause it?
Thanks
