With a cherry picker on the back???

Most likely ice buildup, expanding and contracting with variations in temperature - defrost it.

They were in use much earlier than that. Our 1955 house had steel pipes, run along the back gardens, and quite leaky a just a few years ago due to rusting - For a few years leading up to them being replaced, we had Transco come along the back gardens regularly, with 'sniffers', inspecting for leaks.

What we are thinking, is that the pump pressure is so high, it is forcing the TRV to lift of it's seat slightly, making the noise. Dropping the pump speed, might be all it needs, to fix it.

Then you turn up in an old truck, with a cherry picker on the rear?

You changed the entire valve, not just the head? It could be a sympathetic vibration, just try changing the speed, and see if it makes a difference.

Back track, by undoing what you have done to cause the problem, whilst watching the display on the boiler. Once you know what those switches are for, label them for future reference.

The soffit would have been wide open before, with just a fascia board, now it is completely enclosed, with much reduced airflow.

Sorry I didn't realise the old rotten fascia board had been capped over, that is never a good idea, unless the board is in perfect condition. 3 The 'elbow' is called a shoe. 2 Item you missed, is the U channel, has not been fitted along the wall, into which the soffit wall end slots, to give...

I'm on it!

Absolutely ridiculous amount to pay for poor quality food.. .

You might need a gadget, to lift the tile up enough to unhook it. I made a bit of flat steel bar, with a bit of flat bar welded to the side of it, at 90 deg. You poke it under the tile, then rotate lifting the rear edge of the tile, to clear the hooks, moulded into the tile.

Woof, woof, grrrrr!

They enforce the limits, where it's easy, and worthwhile, where people naturally speed. Those areas where few do speed, are the ones where it is less productive, are the areas is more of an issue- the residential roads.
