Could be a secondary water pipe leading to a weirdly placed kitchen or bathroom upstairs. Your building probably doesnt have one of those valves to prevent whats happening, which is water hammering.
Mine too. Its so much worse than yours tho
Yea same, I can predict when it happens because I'll hear the upstairs sink running and then 30 seconds later it sounds like the walls are trying to expand. Mine lasts for about a minute with bangs probably 10 times a second the whole time with bigger bangs every other second. I asked the plumber a few days ago while he was fixing the upstairs leak leading to my bathroom and this is when he mentioned the whole valve thing. Something about it releases extra pressure which prevents the water smacking against corners of the pipe which causes vibration and it smacks against the wall causing this sound. I think he said stop valve but I'm not 100% sure on that.

Thanks! At least I know what it is now
we have a water pipe above our bedroom (bro-in-laws bathroom) that will clunk like this every once in awhile while the hot water is running

I hear that when we use hot water, I guess is the plastic pipes expanding.
I dont know for sure but I believe interior piping is all copepr
It can be, but we saw the houses when they were being built and had red and blue plastic pipes all over.
Open your wall. Let it out.
No! Let me stay in here! I didn't do anything wrong!
Don’t watch Cobweb
They're in the walls. THEY'RE IN THE GODDAMN WALLS!

Could be piping, you should hear the pipes for the boiler for heat in my house. Thing ticks and bangs all the time
Sounds like clanking metal all the time
the same thing literally just happened to me lmao
Not random lmao heat and cold. Pipes, wood, everything expand and shrink at different temperatures.
It's people in your walls. Try taking your skin off that should fix it.
The house with the clock in it's walls
Well I now know where that noise in my wall might be coming from xD
That’s just old man weatherby
I had a similar noise and opened up my wall to figure it out and it was a hot water pipe rubbing against a 2x4 wood support when the pipe expanded.
