Why does my house creak in the wind?
My house is a semi-detatched steel framed house. I think its whats called a cruden. The house is great and feels solid enough. However when there is very strong gales i.e. 40 mph plus the house creaks and groans loudly! Sometimes I think the noise is coming from the roof trusses (also steel) and sometimes from the gable end of the house. I was told that it could be because the houses eves are open and the wind is getting through them into the roof space… Any ideas?
You are experiencing the flaw in metal truss construction. They are screwed together giving them a built in flex. When the wind applies pressure to the structure, the structure flexes and the attached wood creaks. If it was wind getting into your attic space, you would hear screaming and whistling, not creaks.
