Running water sound in walls

[michele]

Hello, i live in an old terraced house (1890's i think). In between two of our downstairs rooms there is a really loud noise of water running. It sounds like someone is running a bath. We have a new boiler, but new radiators. I tried turning off the stop tap and tried turning it both ways and running the taps for ages but the water didnt stop coming. Should i be worried about this? It has been going on for ages and there are no visible leaks and no smells of damp or anything like that. If someone could give me an idea of how to fix this or if i can just continue to ignore it - that would be amazing.

Thanks.

Sounds like it could be air in your heating pipes, has the work been done long? If not ling get them back and let them listen to it. Is the wall solid or stud?

Does it sound when the boiler is off and the heating is off ? With the pumps off depending on system ?

Do you have a water meter ? If so does it still count when there is no water running ?

ie go turn off your water supply at the meter, is the little spinner still going around, if it is you have a leak and your water bill could be growing so get a plumber in fast.

could be a leak before the meter i.e in the garden with sound travelling through the pipe possibly?

Hi. Thanks for getting back to me. I am not sure if the wall is solid or stud. How would i tell? We dont have a water meter. I have had a poke around about the front to look for a stop tap but i cant find anything, the front garden is covered in shingle though. It seems to happen no matter what, boiler on, boiler off. Water running, water off. It is constant. It sounds like there is a bubbling stream in between the two walls and it is quite loud and really really annoying!!! I dont remember it happening when we moved in but i think it must have started off quietly and got louder because it wasnt as if it just started happening one day.

Thanks again.
