Everyone's on the right track with the water level thing. You gotta bleed the pipes out from the highest point in the system.
Another thing to look at is the piping itself. Thermal expansion sounds like the culprit to me. The pipes rubbing as they expand and contract is what causes the noise.
What you gotta do is follow the pipes all the way around. Look for any place that the pipes are in direct contact with any structure, wood ,hangers etc. Wherever it touches, you gotta install a standoff or a bearing of some sort . Nylon or lead works best. Good luck.

Hot water heat? Sounds like you have air in the system and it needs to be bled out.
