What Is The Source Of High Pitched Noise Coming From Water Heater Or Furnace?
I just noticed a high pitched noise, very similar to some of the newer alarm systems, coming from the garage. The two things there are the water heater and the gas furnace. The gas had been switched off about a week ago so we could reinstall a gas insert into the fireplace and, initially, the furnace gas stayed off (which we discovered because of no heat!). I don’t know if this started right after – which is why I’m not assuming it’s the furnace. Thanks!

Wow, there is a million noises I have heard from both a water heater and a furnace. Sort of hard without you making the actual noise. If I had to guess, I usually hear higher pitched noises from a blower wheel in a furnace due to bearings. See if it does while the actual heat is on, or fan, ect. If not, Assuming the work you have done to gas logs, Gas pressure might be an issue. Sometimes, gas gets thrown off when anyone does work on a similar appliance. The gas that passes through the burner chambers on the furnace whistles and whirls, because it has a low burn off rate. (All that means is it cant burn the gas fast enough, or the gas pressure is too low, causing it to ‘dance around’.)
The last thing I see often, is a piece of tape, duct work or something close to the actual furnace has come a little loose. It can be a litlle chore trying to hunt for it. Though you will know it as soon as you put your finger on it. I will garentee you, one of these three issues will be your problem. I hope it works out for you, good luck & merry christmas.
