Well I'm back on the boat now. No rain for 24 hours and the noise has stopped. I guess at least I know what it was now. Just need to find the leak and where the drips went. Thanks for all your replies. Trev.

Lol with some of the replies. Re turning off water pump. Tried that no difference. I will check the mushroom vents etc this evening. It could be drip drip I guess but 48 hours? And where the hells all that water going if the bilges are dry?

The noise is like a pulse. Approximately once a second for the last 48 hours. And yes it happens with the heating on and off. I've been a liveaboard boater for 4 years now and never heard anything like this. Weird but will check centre lines etc this evening

Hi there. First post on here so please forgive me for any etiquette/wrong section errors etc. For the last couple of days I have noticed an odd tapping/knocking noise seemingly coming from the port side wall in the bathroom area. Almost like an echoing pulse every second or so. I can't pinpoint the exact location but there are no pipes or wires in that area. . I have tried turning off everything electrical, which made no difference. I also checked all areas underneath water pipes and the bilges etc. and no signs of any leaks. Likewise central heating system and boiler all functioning as normal and water pressure good. Any ideas what else I should check. I first heard the noise after getting back to the boat after the storm on Sunday. The boat is in a reasonably sheltered location in a small private marina. Bit of a long winded post but any suggestions welcome. Kind regards Treb
