Ok, that sounds not too complicated. I'll ask my hubby to help to see if we can get this system balanced then. I can see how that will help with stopping the radiators from being scorching hot downstairs, but do you think it will help with the noise?

DO NOT adjust the pump speed it is set at that for a reason, as previous posters have advised your system needs balancing and possibly range rating any decent installer should know how to do this and should do it at the time of the install

when your boiler left the factory the central heating output will be set at maximum (not something you can adjust) when the boiler is installed the installer is supposed to calculate the required heat load and then adjust the boiler accordingly but sadly very few do and unless you have a massive system its very unlikely you need the boiler to be set at maximum, true the boiler will modulate down by itself as the system gets hotter but you waste so much energy waiting for this to happen, the noise you are hearing is water rushing through the small orifices in the radiator valves and gets amplified by the metal of the radiator, its not hard to fix for someone who knows how to balance the system properly, you could do it yourself , there is a guide on how to on here, but you will need and RGI to range rate it for you, but as I said your installer should do this for free
