    Noise with hot water pipes for 1 min after start. No noise after that.
    When opening hot water in shower, there will be noise in the pipes after 30 seconds. Will last about 1 minute and then stop. About 10 minutes after the shower, there will be a couple of bang and none after that.

    About 30 seconds after running the hot water there will be slight banging sound. Like clank and a few more clanks. This will last for about 30 to 40 seconds and then stop.
    About 10 or so minutes after shutting down the hot water, there will be a couple of more clanks. Very quite after that.
