When I lived in a dorm in college we had a problem with our radiator making squeaking noises. Dorm built in the 60s for reference.
Maintenance showed up and he verbatim said “I’ve been working here for 30 years and have never had this problem. You might be better off moving rooms.” He managed to fix it by doing basically the radiator-equivalent of turning it off and on again. Never happened again.
Yep, I’ve got that problem with my wood stove. There’s water running though there to move the heat to central heating and when the volume stream is just right something will get into resonance and then you can turn the pump up and down as much as you want, the whole thing will whistle like a steam locomotive until you turn the pump entirely off and wait five seconds. Happens maybe once a year.
