I just heard the sound which wouldn't open on my pc. It sounds just like a
garden variety Honeywell hot water zone valve de-energizing and closing
under spring tension, but I have no clue what the bang could be. If I were
you I'd find the valve and watch it to see that the pipes aren't loose and
possibly banging against something when it closes

Ok, so first time in my life I'm a homeowner, and also first time I have
baseboard heat. The problem is the noise that the baseboard makes when the
thermostat turns the heat off.

The noise is like a big bang or clunk. And when more than one heaters do
it same time, it can scare you. Not to mention the neighbors. Not all
heaters do it though. And it doesn't happen every time.

This seemed to come up every once in a while, but still I couldn't find
any answers with Google that seemed to apply to this case. I live in a
condo, and I don't have my own boiler, so that limits some things that
I can do or check.

Here's a sound file too, that I recorded, maybe that will help:

How do I stop the sounds? Thanks!
