    What noise does your boiler make?

    Ours is making a rachet noise when it fires up. Apart from that all working OK.

    Banging
    Thumping
    Clicking
    Buzzing
    Ticking
    Popping
    Whooshing
    Whining
    Rattling
    And "a very loud noise like a roaring freight train"

    But no ratchet sound.

      Hot water. Cheaper to heat via gas I believe. Also the immersion doesn't have a timer on it.

          Have you been for a hearing test recently?

              That's not a ratcheting noise. That's a constant clicking noise. A ratcheting noise sounds like something being tightened by a ratchet.

                  And what does that sound like?

                  It's the noise the ratchet screwdriver makes when you turn it against the resistance.

                    Ratchet Sounds

                    Here you go. Like these, but louder.
