VerifiedHi my name is XXXXX XXXXX lets see if we can get you sorted in the shortest possible time. If it is fully pumped, try turning the pump speed up. If it is gravity then you may need to descale your boiler. It is the noise made when the water is going through the boiler too slow and being heated too quickly
Unless there is a problem with the pump not being as powerful as it once was, I can see no immediate answer. I did notice that you put some noise reduction fluid in? This coats the inside of the heat exchanger to stop it kettling but can also have a detrimental effect on the size of the waterways through the boiler.
