tapping noise from baseboard heat
Comments (2)There are usually some plastic spacers that seperate the tube with the fins on it from the metal housing, if these are missing or not placed properly you will get a ticking noise. Also make sure the pipe is not rigidly held in the bracketts, there needs to be some give for the pipe to expand and contract. Hope this helps....See MoreSince I'm here...

Comments (1)You need to change some tap washers if the noise is loud, if it's not so loud it could actually just be your water meter if it's a 'ticking' - but if it sounds nasty, it's washers....See MoreRapid 'tapping' noise in pipes. Soundfile available
Comments (1)Unclear description but wondering if what they're hearing is encrusted water-heater heating up....which generates "crackling" rather than "tapping" sounds, typically, but would coordinate with the rest of your description. Do these tenants share a common water heater?...See MoreWham! Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap
Comments (18)Thank you for comiserating (I think that is the word LOL) with me. I feel better, at least my head isn't pounding anymore nor is the guy across the street. I don't know why this noise got to me but it did. I think it was his rythm of taps. Roof went up across the street at another neighbour's the other day and that didn't bother me at all. I found the headphones in a hat box but no batteries for my old Walkman. I had 1 aspirin left which I took then I went to bed, pulled up the covers and put a pillow over my head and woke up just now because someone was knocking at my front door and Loki barked. I guess little Lucy was sleeping on the pillow on my head and when I jumped up startled she flew off. LOL Poor kitty! I also guess I shouldn't have said I have a toothache. I have a mouthache under a tooth LOL. My gum was sliced just under a tooth from a chicken bone and the glands under my tongue swelled and my bridge has been pressing on both and irritating it. The pain feels like a toothache though. I never thought of using ice on it. I can't believe I slept as long as I did and I didn't move once I got into bed. Thanks for your concern and the tips if I ever have another headache which I hope is none to soon. Thank you Mommy's. Anne...See Moreseneca_nyc
