I've often come across this, especially in bungalows where heating pipes travel through the attic space and drop down into the hot press and the system is open vented.
If so, the usual culprit is lack of static head. Basically, if you do not have 1/3 of the head of circulating pump between the water level in the f & e tank and the highest part of the circulatory system, each time the pump starts up, the water level in the open safety vent pipe will empty down into the flow pipe, bringing with it a gullop of air. When the system is on, it will sound like galloping horses through your heating pipes.
The fix, raise the f & e tank to above 1/3 of the head of the pump, so if you have a 6m head pump, the minimum distance between the circulatory pipework and the water level in the tank must be 2m.
Bleeding will only give you a limited reprisal of the symptoms as the noise will soon return as air is drawn into the system.
