loud thud in steam radiator...please help.

Loud thuds in one of our steam radiators are keeping us up all night. What could be the possible problem and solution?

possible problems

first of all we need to know if this a 1-pipe or 2-pipe system. then we need to know if this is a new problem, or an old problem. causes could be:
pressure too high.
bad boiler piping.
dirty/oily water in boiler.
lack of proper main line venting.
improper pitch on the radiators,or their supplie lines.
defective, or shut off valve in 1-pipe systems.
with more information we could be very helpful with 600 man-years of steam experience. all problems can be solved to bring these systems to the original state of being quiet, economical, and comfortable.-nbc
