Our old house also got those sound, but it was on a split level and on stumps and much older than the new one. Now, it is a concrete based one. Do your new house had those sounds ? thanks.

It used to drive me nuts sometimes. Since then I added an extension with a colourbond roof and it sounds exactly like the basketball bouncing on next door's driveway - lol. (Except the boys no longer live there.) Re: Does your house have the " clike clike" sound? 8Oct 14, 2010 9:28 pm hmmm maybe I'm hearing the same noise as you MrT49. my noise only seems to happen in one part of the house. I can only hear it in my kids bedrooms. I always thought it was something else, like maybe the pipes or something. where do everyone else's noises happen?

Re: Does your house have the " clike clike" sound? 9Oct 14, 2010 9:35 pm Hi donuts, I can't swear that it's the roof making the noise. I've never heard it in any house I've lived in except this one - and I've lived in lots of houses. I can say that it started after the extension was built. The only other thing that went in was a garden window in the kitchen. I doubt it's pipes, but I suppose it could be because the place was re-plumbed during the renovations - mostly pvc pipe. It comes from somewhere near where the extension joins the back of the 'old' house - at one end only. Re: Does your house have the " clike clike" sound? 10Oct 14, 2010 11:16 pm Oh we have something like that. It only happens in strong wind. I have been in the roof durring such events and not been able to nail it down ony one thing It hasn't always been there Drives us crazy Though it may have been the antenna cable where it hangs down from the roof. No trade seemed tocare about fixing anything up there, it all just chucked about the place. It does my head in. Re: Does your house have the " clike clike" sound? 11Oct 15, 2010 7:46 am We get a "light switch" sound every night, when we're going to sleep. This is in a brick veneer timber frame house. And back in Singapore there is a "marbles dropping" sound that always occurs as temperatures change. The houses there are concrete flats called "HDB", after the government company that builds them. Here are some of the suggestions as to why: 1 When water flow is shut off suddenly, the change in pressure rattles the pipes, which may sound like marbles dropping after distortion through walls. 2 Some pre-fabricated floors used in HDB flats have an embedded high-strength steel cable which can give off creaking sounds when they contract. 3 It is really children playing with marbles Metricon Riva 33 - http://herlihy-riva.blogspot.com Site start 15/03/2010 - Handover 23/12/2010 9 months and 8 days (284 calendar days) from site start to handover Re: Does your house have the " clike clike" sound? 13Oct 16, 2010 11:49 am Did I read on here that sometime in time around 2002-4 there was a batch of faulty nails or something used in roof trusses?
