radiators making a lot noise

Mint Sauce

live in a rented house, with an old heating system, with nearly a different style radiator in each room, a couple of them are making a lot of noice, clicking or rattleing sounds, one of the ones makin a noise does possibly need bleeding as only 3/4 of it hot, but this evening, after a few minutes, no hissing of air escaping or any water coming though the release after opening it, any sugestions, or is it time to get the ageny to call a plumber

Sounds like either an open system with stuck ball cock on cold water tank or else a closed system with a leak somehwere. as it is a rented gaff, get the plumber

only two radiators are making the rattleing sound though, can only hear it when in those two rooms, take it bleeding them will do no good

As Ircoha says, there is not enought water in the system. It might be just a stuck ballcock, or the pipe from the attic could be blocked. Or, if a sealed system, the feed valve could be off or the non return valve stuck.
If you are renting, it should be the landlord's problem - call a plumber.
