Hi Everyone,
Please note I am not a plumber, but I'm hoping to get some help/advice. We have an Atmotec Plus Vaillant boiler in the kitchen of our rented flat. I'm not sure if it's normal, but whenever the boiler turns on and off, it makes a noise. (see video in the below link. 16 second mark shows the noise it makes turning on, 36 second mark shows the turning off noise)

The boiler turns on and off approximately every 10-20 minutes it seems all day and all night. We also have a Vaillant VRT 360f thermostat, but don't ever use it as we don't know how. We tend to stick with the knobs on the radiators in each room when we want to adjust the room temperature. I had a plumber come out last week to look at it, and he was unable to fix the noise. He said the tank needs maintenance, but did not say what kind. He also mentioned something about a vent. Since the plumber left, we can now hear a soft rattling coming from each radiator in each room when the tank is turned on. Needless to say, I've scheduled a plumber to come and complete the "maintenance" required next week.
I thought before the plumber comes by again, I would ask on here to see if anyone has seen this before, or perhaps this turning on/off noise is completely normal?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Sincerely,
ABDAZE
