Why do I hear creaking in my attic?
Why do I hear creaking in my attic? At night attic can sometime make loud creaking and cracking sounds. It can ofter sound as if the roof is broken in some way, or the roof is going to collapse. The creaking sound is perfectly normal, and is caused by the movement of roof timbers responding to changes in temperature. Do tie rods creak? Next in line would be a dry ball joint or tie rod end. I've never heard a tie rod make a creak or groan noise. Usually a tie rod will only make a light thunk or knock...
