xgrifterx   10 #1 Posted November 11, 2010 evening  now then, am taking suggestions on what the devil the dull bang / dull flapping noise is coming from the roof /chimney only when its windy.  its a dull deep noise. not a whistle and not just air in the chimney. the chimney and pot is sound, there is not a flap/air vent or anything like a flap to cause the flapping/dull bang noise, chimney is empty/clean and clear of obstructions  can be heard in roof when up through the hatch, so its not a noise being caused by wind in there/actic space (as creating a hole by opening loft hatch would alter the noise/cause wind to escape)  have heard of roof 'drum roll'? have tried everything short of rebuilding entire chimney.  any ideas ? cheers  xgx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

xgrifterx   10 #3 Posted November 11, 2010 evening  no, no fire at all, boarded up.noise was there 2 years ago when there was an old open fire there and its still there now its boarded up.  i am beginning to think its something to do with roof construction, its like a very deep booming bouncing flap noise (sounds like whatever is causing the noise bounces no more than 3-4 times per gust of wind)from top of chimney - sound gets worse as wind gusts get stronger guess i need a chimney expert to do some work, and if that doesnt solve it, the roof relaid  cheers xgx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

joelhistory   10 #6 Posted November 11, 2010 Probably your roof tiles lifting and then dropping again. Quite alarming sound, but not that bad unless it's really windy. Get a person to have a look for loose ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
