Ive done one of these, you will find the HW heat exchanger is scaled up dont try and clean it replace it !!! then fit a scale master to your cold water inlet on the boiler and change it every three years, with the boiler drained down fill system with X400 and leave it in. Job Done P

Find out what type of TRV's you have most of them are dual flow this means you can put them of either the flow or the return it makes no difference. also you can take the top of the TRV and see if the needle is free if not WD40 may free them,

Have you got the pump on high if not turn to high, have you got a bypass fitted or leave 1 rad with out trv's, i would say you have a flow problem sort it out before you get lime build up in the heat exchanger

I went to the same problem last week, the gas valve is modulating it alters the gas pressure to the burner, when the boiler gets up to temp the flame starts to drop does the noise start lower the stat on the heating side after the boiler is hot when you lower the stat does the noise start ...

A few things to try: turn the pump onto full, turn all rads off upstairs then open them 1 turn only to allow more water downstairs, clean the system with a quality cleaner. I have been to loads of problems like this and i find that if you balance the system it normaly works, Good luck...
