    Laugh of the day (neighbours complaining about noise)

    Neighbours complained to their landlord about the habitual drilling and grinding noises due to "building noise" at my house and he contacted me. Very polite as usual, unlike my neighbours who have been blanking me (and who also blanked my mother when she saw them out the front and wished them...

    bang noise in radiators

    My radiators make a bang noise every now and then. Doesn't seem to be a particular radiator instead it will be 1 radiator and then some time later another radiator and then some time later another. Only 1 at a time I think. At least I think this is what's going on. By way of background; I have...

    Noise water pump, any

    Hi all, I’m looking for a bit of advice. A flat two stories up from mine has installed a water pump that feeds all of their outlets (shower, toilet, sinks, washing machine, dishwasher …) from a loft storage tank. Alas, the pump seems to be sending vibration down the walls and into my flat. The...

    Glow worm boiler noise

    Does anyone know where I can find the decibel rating for the British Gas 330+ boiler? I'm looking to get it replaced and wanted to compare it against the Glow worm energy 18r or 25r boilers (18W or 25W) or does anyone have any experience of these two models in terms of how noisy they are?

    Boiler noise with link to sound

    Hi, We've been having this noise on our Valliant combi boiler for a while, 1/2 years+ (link below). Unsure what it might be, perhaps nothing to worry about. Does anyone know what it might be and if it's anything to be concerned about? Link: SndUp | Post info - http://sndup.net/dj3t I've...

    Immersion heater noise

    I had a new water heater element fitted a few weeks ago that heats water at night on economy 7. Previous heater elements have been very quiet but I can hear the new one heating the tank at night. It sounds a bit like a boiling kettle. Is this normal? It’s driving me mad!

    Hi all, thanks in advance if there are any ideas. I've got a Worcester Bosch Greenstar combi with Hive thermostat. When the boiler turns on for central heating it makes a weird beep like a gameshow buzzer, a short rumble, then operates normally. Same thing happens when it turns off. But it...
