Hi braintrust, I live in a suburban area in Canberra, house build in 1960, and have been renovated twice in the last 5yrs. Tile roof has been replaced with Colourbond roofing and passed the inspection check. I have noticed that the house has started to pop and creak a lil more than usual after moving in for less than a year. It doesn’t matter which room, and it can happen throughout the day. The pop and creak is loud enough to rattle the dogs and I. I had a roofer and electrician looked into the manhole and subfloor and both claim the house to have sufficient insulation and ventilation.
I have noticed that when my direct neighbour on the left slams their door, the house vibrates or gives out a pop sound with 30/40db. When he slams something in his shed 20m away from my room/kitchen, or uses the electricity there, it causes my fridge to purr and pop.
At nighttime, the sound usually starts past midnight, the ceiling and sharing wall with the fridge would pop or creak a few times every hour, and I can hear the pipes behind my bed.
Can anyone shed some light to the cause of this issues?
