How do you fix noisy radiators?

"Although it's natural to hear the odd sound escaping from your radiators, noisy radiators can be more disturbing than you expect - particularly if you set them to come on early in the morning before you wake up. But, are noisy radiators something to worry about or can you fix the problem yourself? Or, is the noise something you should accept, and in fact a sign that they are working as they should?"

""Noises can range from gentle gurgles and hisses to louder banging, clanging or knocking," explains Nick Duggan, managing director of The Radiator Centre. So, what do the different noises mean and when should we be worried? "A soft bubbling or trickling is usually nothing to worry about, while sharper or repeated bangs can indicate a deeper issue in the system," explains Nick."

Radiators make a range of noises from gentle gurgles and hisses to louder banging, clanging or knocking. Soft bubbling or trickling typically indicates nothing to worry about, while sharper or repeated bangs can point to deeper issues within the heating system. Components can make sounds as they expand, contract or circulate water, and these noises may subside once the system stabilizes. Noises can be categorized by type and cause, and many common problems are straightforward to diagnose and resolve to reduce disturbance.
