For 2 1/2 hours I heard snapping, cracking noises (like breaking a twig) in the ceiling of my living room making the tiles on my floor come up. In two rows in a straight line, through two rooms the tiles went up against each other way off the floor like a pyramid shape.. Eventually most of the tiles in the room came loose from the floor and the grout crumbled. Over a couple of years I heard it for 5 to 15 minutes through out most of the condo ceiling, and two walls, and the rooms also had the tiles come up, sometimes with a bang like a gun went off. The latest guess is it is the cement floor above me. The building has 8 units with 4 on each floor and is about 35 years old in Florida. The floor above did have water problems and water entered from a hurricane. Newly installed windows prior to the 1st ceiling noise now have a popping noise when the weather changes during the day or night, especially in the late evening.
Is the 2nd floor rebar and cement going to fall apart? What could have caused this noise all through my condo?
