Thanks all
It's odd you should say that because our works very well as an alarm clock - the heating fires up at around 7.00am and the ticking noise starts shortly thereafter...

I guess it's likely to be worse when the rad's being heated from stone cold as the expansion involved will be greater. It's also possible that other rads may sometimes be making a similar noise but that it's less noticeable than is the case in a quiet bedroom at night.
