Knocking sound on the walls.

This is our 2nd winter in our home. Last winter, I remember having posted about the million annoying sounds popping from the HVAC system. We have an unfinished, framed basement which is unheated. Since we had the warranty on the HVAC, we had the guys come over (like 6 times) and finally made them change the metal ducts to a special insulated material. Now, all the noises are gone. Except for one freakin, annoying sound from the wall of my bedroom. It happens at night time (though we might have ignored it at daytime)..Its a constant knock from the wall...I'm suspecting it is a copper pipe expanding due to heat. It is clearly from the wall & I have no idea how to get to it...I hate to rip it open & then find nothing, ours is a brand new home (2006)...Anyone else have problems like this..Save me !! Help me sleep.

We just had a home built last year as well and luckily haven't had any of those problems. If it were me I would call the builder of the home. I wouldn't think you should be getting noises out of a brand new home like that.

Knocking boots with your gf is an excellent prank. I can see why she fell for it, er I mean went along with it.
