Clicking noise within ceiling void

[binky]

The heating pipes under the landing used to serve as alarm clock in my old house.

I have got so used to the creaking I think I would miss it .

Mine are the same on the landing but I have one in the bedroom that clicks twice. Drives me potty. Just too lazy to sort it

Mine doesn't bother me, it's mostly downstairs anyway in the hallway. I won't be sorting it out anytime soon as it would mean lifting solid oak flooring.

In case anyone is interested, it's what happens when you run heating pipes through wooden joists unsupported, and they rub on the wood as they expand.

The very easy solution is to insert a bit of felt or hessian, or similar between the pipe and the wood. Check also that branches aren't trapped and can move as the longer pipes expand. If designing a layout from scratch avoid long straight runs. (All learned the hard way!)

Sounds to me like a large contactor or an equally large MCCB tripping off..
