| Post subject: | Noisy House |
a quick question directed more at home inspectors on this board... i get a bit of popping or snapping noises from my house itself. i guess this is from expansion and contraction of the wood with temperature changes. in some cases it is really loud. i'm just wondering if this is something i should be concerned about and should have a professional look at? |

I remember for the first year or two in our new home we heard popping noises every now and then too. It was just from the house settling and we had a few nail pops coming out of the ceiling (which is normal). Noticed it was more frequent during cold-warm weather changes. Haven't heard it in the last year or so now  I wouldn't worry unless ur bathtub ends up in your kitchen

One thing to consider would be the metal ducts in the home. As they heat up and cool they expand and contract. If they are rubbing against some structure / wood then they can make popping and snapping noises as they heat up and again as they cool. Google - ducts making noise - and you will likely find more information. |

well, my place is fairly settled now (8 years old or so) and it doesn't sound like ducts flexing. once in a while it's a really loud pop and at times it can be quite frequent. in some cases it sounds like it's coming from the same place. now, nothing's coming apart and i don't notice any cracks in the drywall but it is disconcerting... |
