that's called expansion. nothing you can do, really.
anyone who says "bleed them" is horribly uniformed.

I believe Jeff D. and that i might additionally say to have the steam traps regarded at for plausible maintenance and/or alternative with the aid of an authorized boiler technician. you're able to call your community application business enterprise and notice in the event that they have a technician that ought to come out and do an power survey to work out if there are any areas the place you are able to keep funds, decrease down on leaks, develop overall performance, advert make your heating/cooling kit final longer.

You do know you are asking this in cars and transportation, maintenance and repairs, right?
That being said, you probably have air trapped in the lines. Somewhere in the system there should be a place to bleed them. That will help, but with those systems you can never stop all the noise they make from temperature differential.

Ha! Yes, we lived in Georgia once and the old house had the radiators moaning and a groaning. I think they like wood floors that creak. The best way to fix them is learn to ignore them. ;-)

Thermal expansion.
There's not much you can do about it.
The only thing I can think of is to lower the volume of water flowing through the radiator at one time so that the entire thing heats up at close to the same rate. As opposed to hot on one side, and cold on the other.

It sounds like you need to ' bleed ' them
You can buy a key for this at most hardware shops.
Make sure that the heat is not on when you do this. Turn the key slightly clockwise, when you hear them hiss turn key anti clockwise to lock them again.
This ought to release any airlock in them
Good Luck

there really is not much that you can do about that. the clicking noise is the metal expanding as it heats up and it w will do the same as it cools down. the only real suggestion that i have is that they have heat duct wrap which is an insulated wrap to help to prevent heat loss from the ducts as as it has some insulation in it may help to muffle the noise
