noise

I know this is a boring question that must get asked a lot but I promise I have done some research and cannot find an answer that fits with my experience. I've recently moved house, had it rewired and I've fitted Philips LED bulbs throughout. Most are from their 'Warm White' range and some are...

We live on a fairly busy road, technically 20mph but everyone does at least 30mph. There is a constant stream of traffic until fairly late in the evening and queues during morning and evening rush hours. Motorbikes go up and down late at night. No lorries or buses normally though due to narrow...

I have previously isolated the feed to the header tank in the past when working on the system, rather than isolating it in the header tank itself. I just noticed after draining some water via the magnetic cleaner that the feed makes an almighty foghorn noise. The vibration is fairly extreme to...

Hi, I have kept this piece of rubbish going for quite a long time and I don't like the idea of getting defeated by it! Every year there is something new to tackle and replace. I will eventually replace it for a real one! I have now got a problem that I can't work out and was wondering if some...

Hi all For context: Closed system conventional boiler with tank and expansion vessel. Serviced every year, new expansion 6 months ago. (Ideal Classic LXFF & FF Fanned Flue) Heating has been switched OFF for last 2 days and hot water runs on timer once a day at 6am for an hour, so rads are...

Hello Does anyone know what is causing this noise? Thank you

Hi Guys I have had Atag combi boiler for 3 years now and the boilers is working fine in terms of producing ch and dhw. However, when I turn the DHW, for the first few seconds the boiler is making a sound that I can best describe it to be "tok tok tok tok" and then stops after 5 or so seconds...

Hi all. New to site and searching for answers. I have a Worcester Bosch MT10 combo boiler. It’s 5 yrs old. Usually efficient and quiet. Now, suddenly, it sounds like a machine gun. Loud sporadic clicking and then rumbling around the pipe work. First I switched the boiler off and bled the...

Hello everyone, The bedroom in our (private) rental flat has a glass sliding door facing a street and a pub. It can be loud but the worst thing is the bass frequency/engine revving noise coming from somewhere in the evening, which can last all night. It's not a loud sound but it does sound like...

Hi, got a 10yrs old WB greenstar 37cdi. Runs nicely but every few minutes has a loud buzz that fades in then back out, lasts for a few seconds and then fades out. Definitely not the pipe work or snagging. Can happen any time, not just upon fire up or shutting down. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi All, recently, when I turn the bath hot tap on, just slightly, a very loud shuddering, like a pneumatic drill, can be heard from the pipes/floor/tap? When I turn the tap on fully, it stops. Is this water hammer? It doesn't happen all the time, just every so often. But it is so loud and...

Hello all, Apologies in advance for being completely thick about all this but I wondered if anyone could give me any ideas as to why the boiler has started making this noise. A google search tells me to keep an eye out for a low hum (kettling) but this high pitched noise hasn’t been described...

Hello, I will be refurbishing a 1960s house and am considering what aspects of the plumbing might need changing, there's a couple of points in particular I would appreciate advice with. Some of the pipework looks like it might be 50 years old, other bits look like they were changed more...

I would like help with the house radiators please. * Vibration noise My radiator (I live in a shared property so am only aware of my own) has been making a low level constant noise that wakes me up and disturbs me during the day, even if I am watching TV. I hear that valves letting the water in...

Hi, I have an issue with my boiler which consists of it making a hissing noise and pressure meter going up when the central heating is on. I haven't tested what happens when the pressure is extremely high as I turn it off before it goes above 3 bars. The central heating is not working but hot...

Hi, my friend has one of these boilers and for ages it has made loud vibrating noise on both Ch a hw. It also suffers from delayed ignite. She has very low funds and aware that a gas man needs to be called as it's very likely the burner needs replacing. The question is the Hammering and I am...

I have a tenanted flat with neighbour noise problems. Easiest way to reduce noise travel to and from the flat above is to lower my ceiling and stuff the lowered area with noise attenuating material. Whats the very best stuff to stuff into the lowered ceiling area to really get the noise moving...

Hi, ever since we moved in to this house there's been a 'thump' noise every time we walk over a particular part of the (downstairs) living room floor, which is a standard floorboards over joists construction. I'd always assumed that this was due to a loose floorboard or two but since taking up...

My Siemens dishwasher, about nine years old, makes a really loud squealing noise for 10-20 minutes at a time while it's in the middle of its programme. Think banshee with a stubbed toe, about 2kHz, and loud enough to be heard throughout the house. It doesn't do that when filling or emptying...

Hi everyone, I have this very weird problem with the apartment I just rented in Geneva, Switzerland. Very old building. Because of the heating that goes in the radiator, the pipe that goes from the wall to the radiator dilates and makes this terrible noise, every 1-2 seconds, especially...
