Loud Hissing Heat!!!
This is our first winter in our new co-op and we are just now realizing that we have a really really loud steam heater! Does anyone know if there is an easy way to quiet these things or should I just go bug the super? It's in the wall and has a cover over it. It's not like the other cast iron radiators I've seen before. Thanks!

I remember some kind of hissing noise but then my Dad came over to bleed the pipes and it went away

In our apartment, the heater used to make some pretty freaky noises when the valve wasn't open all the way. I'd check that!

we have steam heat and we could get these banging noises from the pipes. We had a steam heat specialist come in and they pitched the radiators and replaced a few valves. It seemed to help a lot.

Sounds like they need to replace the bleader valves or the installed the wrong ones....
I'm sure the heat is good on the radiators that are hisssing...

Re: Loud Hissing Heat!!!
Thanks everyone for your replies. The heat is not a problem. In fact, when it is on, it can be sweltering in here. It's just the loud hiss that is driving us nuts when it comes on every so often. I guess I'll just get the super up here and ask him.

We have that too. For some reason, I like it though.
