As stated in the topic, my boiler occasionally (maybe once per hour) makes a loud, high-pitched sound. To me it sounds almost identical to a cat meowing only louder, to the point where when it first started I would go to the door to let my cat in every time it happened, lol. I'm pretty sure it's happening while the central heating is already in operation i.e. NOT when the central heating starts up. Both central heating and hot-water are still working fine.
I realise I almost certainly require a gas-registered plumber to actually fix it but I wanted to check with you guys because my landlord is USELESS at getting things done; if it fails tomorrow I'll probably be waiting a week before he gets someone here to sort it. I know he has an obligation to sort it but he basically doesn't give a monkey's and I'm not in a position to find somewhere new to live right now if he takes the hump at me hassling him over it. If it is likely to be something cheap I'm semi-inclined to just find my own plumber as I am disabled and NEED working central heating.
So, any ideas about what might be causing this occasional, weird, cat-meowing sound from my boiler? Is it a sign of imminent failure? Is it dangerous if it is not fixed immediately?
