mysterious sound of running water

[stuart noble]

Can anyone help with this? My neighbour has the constant sound of water flowing through pipes, rather like a cistern filling, when there are no taps on and no obvious place for the water to be flowing to. She has a combi boiler, which I have turned off, and this makes no difference. There is no evidence of leaks anywhere, cisterns are fine, and the only thing that stops the sound is turning off the stopcock in the road. So, I suppose my question is, has anyone had similar experiences or can suggest a source for this sound?

Should have asked whether you are still on a shared supply. If so, it could be the neighbours have a leak somewhere.

Cheers everybody. I'll try and take another look/listen tomorrow and report back. Sounds like a leak somewhere then but I suppose it doesn't have to be major to make a noise.

One last point, saturation of clay soil can cause subsidence, especially when the foundations are lightweight, as is often the case with old properties. In other words dont be tempted to leave it awhile.
