Thumping and Banging Noises In House

by iShaun » Sat Jun 20, 2020 9:01 pm

I am constantly hearing what I can best describe as thumping in my house.
It sounds like it's coming from the ceiling but can't pinpoint exactly.
It's a new build house I moved into last September but have only started hearing these banging sounds since about 4 weeks ago.
I thought it was the neighbours at first but it's not.
The bangs are often in a pattern as well.
2am the other morning I timed it. 4, 5, or 6 bangs every 2 mins. Sometimes really loud.
It sounds like someone is upstairs banging.
It isn't timber expanding or contracting or pipes knocking as they wouldn't make that sound.
Just typing this now it's been banging pretty much non stop.
I have no clue what it is or where it's coming from.
Any help or info welcome.
It's driving me mad!

Hi ishaun,
Have you looked to see if there are vermin living in your loft?

I have checked everywhere.
The thumping is too loud and consistent to be vermin.
