It sounds like a small case of water hammer.. your pipes may be getting blocked a little, also may not quite supported well enough going through the joists..

Without hearing it, it would be difficult to say.
2 probbable causes.
1. As pipes heat up they expand and due to pressure in pipes if they come in contact with other pipes they can make a light mocking sound. Usually it’s the floorboards rather than the pipes making the sound.
2. Could be dirt/air in the system and could need cleaning out and then balancing and bleeding.
Hope that helps with your question.
