Last July I moved to a second floor flat and the first night I started noticing banging noises coming from my bedroom wall which I happen to share with the balcony. I tried to diagnose the problem since it happened every 20 minutes and came to the conclusion that it must be the thermal expansion of the outside pipe. However, there was a different clicking noise coming from the adjacent wall and this came from within the wall. I've spent the last 6 months living with this constant annoyance to the point where I gave up.
However, due to the coronavirus outbreak and me having to stay home I've called an electrician this Monday to have a look (not the first time) and I want to make sure I can guide him through the problem. So far, I've discarded it being a heating pipe or a wiring issue and I'm almost sure it may be coming from the rediffusion box which I know is very old but haven't been able to open yet. The issue happens regardless of the weather although the banging noises on the gutter happen more often when it's sunny.
If any of you guys could give me ideas of why this could be happening I would highly appreciate it, I really would love to spend the quarantine without stressing out over silly noises.
