Hi, I have really weird noises happening randomly at all times of day and night now


No water is running (that I’m aware of), nothing electric either, no heating. I have town water and a sceptic tank. The sound is loud and it’s hard to pinpoint its location so it may not be from the pipes that are shown in the video. The sound happens at random so I’m worried that the plumber will come out and hear nothing. It happens about once an hour now, more or less, just one sound at a time and that’s it.

Thank you for your help!

Could be something simple such as a slow dripping tap or cistern on a toilet dripping water or a valve leaking on a cold water tank if you have one. To check a cistern for leaks place squares of tissue around the toilet pan rim and see if any are damp after an hour or so.
 
Not something I’ve heard of before, anyone nearby with an actual elephant? 😂😂😂😂 seriously though, it sounds like a valve might be stuck?
