this is a "home" question... I should probably go to a "fixit" board, but PS is my world...
So there''s this tap tap tapping sound under my living room floorboards. It''s between the basement ceiling and the living room floor. And it only seems to happen when the heater or AC or on. It''s not exactly rhythmic... I can''t dance to it or anything, but it happens pretty regularly. DH swears he can''t hear it, but I think it''s more that he isn''t listening for it, and it''s been driving me crazy for, well, about a year now. I think it might be the ductwork for the vents... I don''t think there are any pipes under there. But sometimes it almost sounds like a dripping. I''m THIS close to either tearing down the ceiling or ripping up the floor! ceiling would probably be easiest to fix...
I also can''t quite isolate the sound... sometimes it sounds a few feet away from where I heard it before. This could be messy...
anybody successfully tracked down a mysterious sound and fixed it? Am I doomed to go crazy? know what it is? aieieieiieieeieiieieie
