Feeling the Heat

Hello all i have been burning in the same insert the same way for 3 years and have ever noticed those noise before. I was rapidly ticking and as you would open the air it would go faster. Close the air it would slow down. I'm kinda stumped. The stove top was 400 and the flue was 350. I tried to load a video but it says the file is to large
 
It sounds like metal expansion/contraction caused by heating and cooling.

Are you sending a ton of heat up the flue? If your box is blazing like after you get a reload caught nicely and you leave it on high, you are sending a ton of heat/flame up your flue and your flue pipe is ticking like that. I had that happen to me a couple of weeks ago during a reload that I let catch for too long before shutting it down.
