noise

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...

In June, the boiler showed an F20 safety switch off temperature limiter, sign. We had the Vaillant engineer come out, who told us that the water pressure was the problem.We were also told the TRV4 on our radiators are not suitable for our boiler. Something about a bypass. The heat needs to go...

Firstly, sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm new here! I've just bought a new build semi detached for £250,000. My neighbours house is about 30cm lower down than mine since our houses are built on an incline. I know it's a semi, I expect to hear some noise, they have a piano and i can...

Good morning all. We've just moved house and noticed that the HW Cylinder Thermostat was only set to 50 deg C and the hot water didn't last for long. I've raised the temp to 60 but now we are getting really loud noises coming from the airing cupboard when the heating has been on for about 1 1/2...

Hi all, I have a Beko EcoCare washing machine which has started making a loud screeching noise when the drum rotates. It began doing it yesterday evening during the spin cycle and now even does it when rotating the drum by hand too. I've checked to see if there's anything hard like a coin...

All, I have not long had a new Baxi Platinum 28 Combi ErP boiler fitted. All was working well bar a few pressure cut outs recently and also there is a noise coming either the boiler or the pipes / rads. I done some checking and the noise is a rattling, ticking / pinking noise. It seems most...

Hi all, I hope you can help please? We have had builders in to fit a new bathroom. The floorboards have been up (one even put his foot through the ceiling), the bath and toilet taken out, the radiator has gone too. Anyway, shortly after they started their work we noticed a very high pitched...

I have a Zanussi zrb932fw2 fridge freezer which has recently started to emit an increasingly loud humming/ buzzing noise. I have listened closely and it seems the noise is coming from behind the ventilated compartment at the roof of the freezer section. I have looked everywhere for an...

Hi Read the forum loads in the past but first time posting... I've just had 2 Sunvic motorised zone valves fitted to control my new heating. One controls the under-floor in the living room, the other the rads in the rest of the house. The motors driving the valves to open / close make a...
