it is only when windy and is like someone bouncing a very large ball and echoes thru house there seems to be nothing obvious but when we call a roofer who cannot go up on roof in high winds its not noisy and trying to tape noise doesnt work either its driving us insane anyone come across anything similiar?

You don't say what kind of roof covering you have. Is the loft accessible if so look in with a torch next time high winds, it could be torn felt, a television Ariel or a TV cable loose and slapping around but its definitely something that needs securing.

You don't say if you have a loft space or not,because the obvious thing would to be get in the loft with a good light when this noise is happening and see if you can trace it.If you have had a loft conversion done you wont have that space,I had a similar noise in our loft conversion,and it turned out to be the kingspan insulation in the flat roof moving up and down in the wind.Hope this helps.

If your house has the old whirly bird style vent on the roof it could be that one of them is spinning and making the noise. Have the roofer check those when it isn't windy. He can tell if it has been damaged.

I would say it was torn insulation felt being lifted by wind getting through the ventilation shafts. That would make the soft sound like a ball not an ariel and it would sound much closer. Its a puzzler though, when you find out for sure make you friends work for the answer!

A roof mounted TV antenna is a prime suspect.

i had this problem at a house i was renting. it drove me to distraction,but i found the problem to be a loose fitting soffit board.
they are the pieces of wood or PVC under where the gutter is fitted. you can watch them to see if they move when the wind is high.it will take a lot of patience but its worth it in the end.
