There are a few noises that heating pipes make. I will lost some and probable causes and solutions.
Gurgling or water rushing, system is air bound and low on water, bleed out air and replace air eliminator.
Pipes banging, circulator (pump) is turning on and causing what is called water hammer. Expansion tank is not absorbing shock of circulator turning on, Replace or increase size of tank. If system is steam, you are water logged and need to be drained.
Creaking, could be normal expansion of pipes or could be pipes rubbing against wood where penetrates through floor. Spray Pledge on pipes where they penetrate through floor.
It may take a few bleeding sessions to get all air out of radiators. Start on upper floors and work to lowest radiators.
You can not bleed air from a air con system like you can a radiator in your home its against the law the system will need to have the gas removed checked for leaks put on a vacum then recharged bleeding will not work
