We have a couple of noisy pipes in our attic, that seem to make a noise once we turn on the hot water tap in the main bathroom or en suite - they start making "clicking" noises after about 30 seconds, with the clicking noise getting rapidly fast i.e. very frequent, before tapering off and slowing down, but with the clicking often present 30 mins after the tap has been turned off.
I attach some pictures below re one of the offending pipes.
What is the best way to isolate this sound?
When I was up in the attic the clicking noise seemed to stop when I held the (large brown part of the) pipe still (although when I wasn't holding it its not as if it was visibly moving; however it was possible to also move the pipe a good few cm left and right).
Is this normal (our property is a relatively new build, built in 2006 Kier Homes breezeblock/timber frame)?
