top the sounds? Thanks!
Had the same problem, and here's what I dug up. With it being a condo you might want to get the maintainers to look into it - easier, safer, and potentially a LOT cheaper.
Water/Hydronic Baseboard heat noise symptoms, root causes to check for in order, & troubleshooting:
Pinging =84=AB expansion of fin pipes use plastic gliders (not metal) =A1V check that all are in place use expansion compensators on long runs install an Outdoor-air reset control (water cycles continuously, varies boiler temp)
Gurgling =84=AB water boiling Check temp, boiler should be less than 212 at all times =A1V have read
220 may be high end? TURN BOILER TEMP DOWN! This is dangerous. =84=AB Air in pipes Bleed systemBanging =84=AB water boiling (banging has a gurgling type sound) Check temp, boiler should be less than 212 at all times =A1V have read
220 may be high end? TURN BOILER TEMP DOWN! This is dangerous. =84=AB Air in pipes (banging has a gurgling type sound, may be like a hammer) Bleed system =84=AB pipe expanding against hole that=A1=A6s too small in floor or wall (banging sounds like hammer) drill a bigger hole apply =A1=A7high heat caulking compound=A1=A8 to hole Outdoor-air reset control system may mitigate but not solve =84=AB failed / failing expansion tank (banging sounds like hammer?) check expansion tank function =84=AB fast-closing zone valve (banging sounds like hammer) likely if banging occurs when the zone shuts down fast-closing valves may cause this (Honeywell, Erie, small White Rogers may be culprit?) slow-closing valves may solve (Taco, large White Rogers)
