Thanks Adrian! I did have a leak on that side of the front of the house - it 
lasted about 4 weeks, only involved small amounts of water from the shower 
for up to 5 minutes at a time and was fixed last summer. The problems have 
been ongoing for some time but have become increasingly noticeable over the 
winter. Could water leakage cause a permanent problem that could get worse 
over time or should the cure for the leak have cured the noise?
