Oh gee, this is a great video to identify the source of the problem. Tiny piece of shim resolved my basement duct noise, it helped to balanced weight of duct, that stopped the duct noise. Without your tip and this video. I was on wrong direction to solve this noise problem. May Allah help you to be successful in this life and in the hereafter Ameen.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It reinforced my suspicions. It's such an odd thing to have a ticking sound in the duct work. I would love to see a macro close up video showing the movement of the metal causing the noise. If I am able to capture it, I'll post a video. Thanks again!
Thanks for your video! I just moved into a house that has the exact same problem, thank got the basement isn't finished, so I'm gonna solve this before finishing the basement. And, as a precaution, I'm thinking of using drop-off ceiling as opposed to drywall ceiling.
Thank you for the video; I had this going through my bedroom wall, and was driving be crazy. Fixed it immediately after watching your video, and slept like a baby :)
For lesson 2, another thing to keep in mind is the patch work you'll need to do to cover up the cut dry wall. On the side where you have the cables, you have plenty of dry wall to screw in small wooden blocks that will support your dry wall patch. However, on the opposite side, you cut the dry wall very close to the stud and have no room to screw in a support for your dry wall patch. For example, at 14:30 I would've cut the drywall an additional inch or two to the right of where you made your cut.
GOD BLESS YOU!! Haha but seriously this EXACT popping duct noise has been driving me crazy for the past year in our old home it used to never make those popping sounds (been living here for 4 years now) and my wife says she never hears it but it drives me crazy!! We also got our windows replaced from wallside windows about right when it started happening and I was thinking this whole time is because of their poor quality windows affecting the structure of our house or something since we never had that problem… and I FINALLY found someone who has been through the exact same problem.. I don’t think you know how much this video has peaced out my mind🤣 God Bless!!
I’ve had same issue! It was all hanger brackets holding ducts up all! I placed silver tape wedges on all 4 corners blocking the hangers from coming into contact with duct! Hangers that were to tightly wrapped around duct constantly ticked
I have unfinished basement and I can see all the ducts but unable to figure out from where the noise coming. I dont see anything shaking or any noise form ducts there. I hear noise is from inside the furnace when it is turned off. I hear some ticking or banging noise from inside the furnace and probably I am hearing the same in upstairs bedroom.
At. 8:59, I noticed you don't have screws on the s cleat. Shoot a self tapping screw in the center, and at the ends of the s cleat, you can screw the ends of the drive cleat onto the s cleat. Try using acrylic latex duct sealant. Using a 2 inch brush, push the sealant into the s cleat and drive cleat joints. Also works on supply or return boots, just push the sealant into the joints. Also try screwing on a full joint of s cleat onto the square duct, to stiffen the duct.
Thanks a lot for the comments, I didn’t realize there should be screws on s cleat. Lesson learned. The challenge for finished basement is to figure out where the issue is. This s cleat is what it was when the house was built, not sure were missed at that time.
I'm wondering the duct inside the opened drywall is return or supply? The return duct in my house is square and supply duct is round. So the noise we can hear from the duct boot can be caused from return duct?I always thought it is supply duct problem.
It would be extremely unusual to have noise occurring in a return duct. The main cause of duct noise is thermal (heat) expansion and contraction - which shouldn’t occur in return ducts since the temperature change in a return duct should be minimal. BTW, supply ducts can be rectangular as well as round.

Buddy, good to know that it helps a bit. You are not alone😅 My wife told me she was not hearing it at all!😓 Have a good one!
I’ve had same issue! It was all hanger brackets holding ducts up all! I placed silver tape wedges on all 4 corners blocking the hangers from coming into contact with duct! Hangers that were to tightly wrapped around duct constantly ticked
I think you have reachable hanger and unfinished basement, right?
Thank you!! I have same problem too and will try this!

That’s what I’m having at my house too! Keep me updated if possible please and thank you!

Also works on supply or return boots, just push the sealant into the joints.

We have flex duct in our house, but we still have a very loud popping noise. Any recommendations what else could be the causing the noise?
Folks, don't use a circular saw to cut holes in your drywall. Use a drywall saw.
I would agree with you.
This video was helpful!
你好，我刚买的房子装修好了搬进去就听见啪啪声。晚上听着很崩溃啊。声音在二楼主卧门口最大，可是那里离出风口很远啊，手根本够不到。我该怎么办？应该找谁来修啊？🙏🙏🙏

Mine is supply duct. As Tommy mentioned supply duct might have the most temperature change to cause noise. My return duct seems quite.
You are the man
请问一下用普通透明胶带来粘可以吗，还是一定要那个alunminum tape
你说的是堵那个洞的封边对吗？透明胶带临时用一下可以，时间长了就没粘性就掉了。长期使用还是考虑aluminum tape。当然了我觉得duct tape也行。
Thank you for sharing
Just bought a house and this exact thing is happening dwn stairs in my wall when the heat stops.
Thank you so much.
Mastic, if accessible nickel thick, or aero seal your ducts, fills the gaps and seams.
Thanks for the comments. Good idea 💡
thx
Solved problem
能推荐下什么物品来顶着管道里？
木条，甚至筷子，可以撑住管道就可以。
@@ljPrivate 也是。 裁减差不多长度就可以了。 看了你视频后去找声源,越找越绝望...好多地方发出声音。。 朋友之前跟我说在风口接口处能用螺丝固定住的都固定。,然后问题没解决。还在想要不把灰板给切了。。 可现在发现声源不只是圆柱型,连主管方形都发出声音。。。
先别急着切drywall，到时候到处都是灰还得补，看看哪里最响，其实有些地方是连带的或者声音传过去的，先试试通过出风口伸手进去看看顶着也没有效果。有效果就加个木条或者筷子顶着，一个一个来。我也是好几个地方响，但其实主要发声的地方就一两个。最差可以考虑转一个孔用筷子伸进去顶住看看有没有效果，试探着找到源头，实在不行了再切drywall。老房子是有可能有这样的问题的。
👍
没太听明白是怎么解决的。我的公寓也有这样的问题，th-cam.com/users/shortsn6ed3IGGPdc ， 能问问怎么解决吗？谢谢
我家也有这问题，很崩溃啊😡
其实我后来用了微创的办法，找到声音源头附近，如果装修封起来了，就拿钻头钻个孔，然后钉进去一根筷子，把留在外面的筷子剪断。这样筷子就挤在那里顶住里面的管道了。可以考虑一下。
@@ljPrivate 我有点不懂，你打一根筷子进去的目的是什么？是靠筷子顶住里面管道，管道就不动，然后就不发声了吗
@@muyy1 对。顶住了就不卡卡响了。比棚顶开洞要好。可以试一下，对外观影响不大。
No had to cut drywall down in basement
我家也是这个问题
找找看声音是从哪里出来的？看看哪里最响！ 然后看看不开口子是不是能在出风口把手伸进去顶着管道，看看声音能不能消除，如果能的话就比较幸运，可以找个东西顶在管道里，其实只要不热胀冷缩就行。
👍🏽
This dude rambles too much
I know it is a little too much. Good thing is I found a rusted hole in my duct. Bad thing is I got two drywall holes to fix up.
