Noise from wall in house

Someone has poured beans into the wall cavity, it's the only explanation.

[The Golden Eel]

Have you tried re-pointing?

 

I didn't know what that was so i looked it up but there are no external walls involved, so would that be applicable?

[Trumo]

Do you have any plants near that wall? If so, is there a water globe (it looks like a maraca in case anyone is wondering) in the pot with the plant? If so, it's the plant having a drink, which some plants often do with the frequency to which you've described this noise. If you take the water globe out or just don't bother refilling it, the noise will go away.

 

If it's not that, then it must be something else.

No, but an interesting /theory idea all the same.  

[The Golden Eel]

I had something vaguely similar in my old house for all the years I lived there, although I would say it sounded a bit more electrical (although grinding wouldn't have been misplaced as a description).

 

It would happen every now and then, and would affect the TV signal in the lounge when it occurred.

 

I think it had something to do with the heating controls though I never really tested this diagnosis and after ten years living there it still happened occasionally by the time I sold it.

 

Cool story, huh?

 

Interesting.  Something I should have stated in my OP is that there is no flickering of lights or TV when it happens.

No, but an interesting /theory idea all the same.

As I said...

[ZonkoVille77]

Any pipes going through the wall? Could be water hammer.

 

Failing that I'd say it's a masterbating rodent.

[Bjornebye]

Its the Russians

[Adebisi]

Have you tried yelling at it?

[mattyq]

I'd smash the fuck out of the wall to teach it a lesson

[Section_31]

It could possibly be Simon Greene after he watched a DVD of Ghost for the first time. 

[Dr Nowt]

All joking aside it does sound like Flying AIDS.

I looked into this breifly but I don't think its that based on the descriptions, causes, etc that I read about. 

 

Failing that I'd say it's a masterbating rodent.

 

 

No, no, that's just me in my living room. 

[Stu Monty]

Sounds like welding ants to me. 

 

Had a bad case of them a few years back. The little fuckers learned how to use oxy and blowtorches a while back and now they just start constructing shit out of metal in your walls.

 

Do you have a nuclear submarine? If not, this could cost you. 

[The_Goat]

MH370?

[Stu Monty]

MH370?

 

Yep, or DW40, either could work on it.

[Bjornebye]

Just start knocking back. Once they know you are on too them they will fuck off to annoy someone else.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Definitely Borrowers. Little people. I watched a documentary on them once. They use needles as swords and cotton as rope so keep an eye out. One of the little fuckers looked like that jim broadbent bloke too. Best to just turn the volume up on things and wear headphones... wireless ones dont give them ideas.

[Guest Super Sub]

The answer is obvious; your neighbours are into bdsm and they have a torture chamber in the adjoining room.

[mattyq]

Just get really pissed all the time so you no longer care about mysterious noises

[Gnasher]

It's the ballasts of the ganga growing room next door

[Stu Monty]

Just get really pissed all the time so you no longer care about mysterious noises

 

Or cut your ears off?

 

Belt and braces I say.

[Boss]

It's me you cunt, LET ME OUT!!!

[Robbo29]

is your house built on a native american burial ground or a nuclear waste site?
