My Attic Turbine Makes A Banging Noise

Its not all in one area.

My attic turbine makes a banging noise.

There are loud banging noises coming from our attic roof. Bubble bubble toil and trouble that popping and bubbling sound isn t the wicked witch. When pressure builds joints and other areas of connections such as nails and metal plates between the roof and attic walls may move slightly with one component or connection moving away from or toward another. Find the noisy turbine and apply the lubricant to the moving parts of the turbine.

During the day the wood expands. Most of the noises seem to be coming from the top of the walls. It comes from all around the room. Climb the ladder remove the access panel and enter the attic.

These sounds can be faint or loud depending on the architecture and acoustics of your home. It literally sounds like someone punching sheetrock. A loose shutter on an attic window or loosened attic vents can cause a banging sound if it s windy as can branches hitting the roof. Heating ducts as they cool also make banging noises as do.

Or perhaps your indoor blower is unbalanced. If you re hearing a tapping sound in the wall at night there s a good chance you have some new houseguests. At night the outdoor temperature lowers and the wood contracts. It s probably your water heater where sediment has settled at the bottom of the tank then popped and.

Place the stepladder under the attic access space. Call the experts and inquire about removal services. When they re making their nests you ll hear repeated scratching and digging. The wood frame under your roof experiences temperature changes from the outdoor air because the attic does not receive much heating or air conditioning.

Creaking wheezing or popping sounds happen at nighttime due to cooler weather. Banging is usually a sure sign that there s a loose or broken part a connecting rod piston pin or crankshaft inside the air conditioning compressor. Be sure to lubricate the bearings.
