There is a Noise in The Loft Dear!
Often there occurs a noise so unnerving, like a hollow thump, bump, or clang, coming from the are above you in the depths of night. Often this noise is mistaken for a bird hitting the roof, a closing door, four legged intruders, or perhaps a hungry family member empting the fridge while you are kipping.

Low Levels of insulation and ventilation
The most common cause in the loft is contraction of ceiling joists. These timbers expand during the day and then shrink when it gets colder at nighttime.
More insulation will help to keep these timbers warmer at night and stop them from warping
Noise
