    big noise

    it would be useful to know where exactly the noise is coming from ,and when it started .something must have changed for it to suddenly misbehave.
    some easily changeable things are:

    pressure[too high because of clogged pigtail or malfunctioning pressuretol]

    cleanness of the boiler water

    maybe the slope of the pipes has changed due to other work having been done
