But does anyone know why my boiler makes a noise similar to the ringing sound when someone runs their finger tip round the edge of a glass????

It's really bugging me. And hasn't exploded yet so I'm assuming I'm safe.

Southport / Ellesmere Port

According to my Google sized brain

"Whining – When a higher-pitched, whining noise is heard, it could mean that a small hole in the boiler has developed and the unit is experiencing a "tea kettle" effect. If the unit is an oil boiler, whining can mean that a fuel line may be restricted. This sound may also be related to a more mechanical breakdown, such as failing bearings in the fan motor"

Have you checked to see if there is a small person stuck in there with a wine glass calling for help in the only way he/she knows how?
