My oil fired boiler has started whistling while running. *The

constant while running and then tapers off after the boiler
extinguishes itself.


Any suggestions as to what might be wrong? *I've seen various
suggestions around a build up of limescale, but they seem to normally
be referring to a much lower pitched rumbling sound.


Thanks,

Make and age would help.. Fan motor bearing sounds a possibility.

Agreed.
