I get noise in my apartement from the boiler "releasing". I live on the top 8th floor. And the flue is surrounded by the closet from 2 rooms and the tiled side of the bathroom. How can I line the closet walls and inside bathroom walls to lessen the sound? (Something easy to do that I can do myself.) The sound should then come from the ceiling/rooftop. By the way, I live in a condop.
Guests have heard it , but I haven't. Hard of hearing. But now I hear it.
You should have the superintendent ask the boiler company to check the top of the chimney, sometimes birds get in there and start building nests which could partially block the space, resulting in a whistling sound when the air is trying to escape the flue. That's why they have cages on top of the chimney's.
