Furnace-more buyer's remorse

You know how when you move into a new house you have to spend some time recognizing and identifying all the strange noises.  That was how I spent last night.  When the water goes into the furnace it makes a recognizable sound; when the fan comes on, another recognizable sound.  When the pump to remove the condensation came on I got a little nervous wondering what that was for sure as it was a different sound than the water intake. But worst of all is this annoying thump=thump=thump much like the sound of the base drum in a marching band about 1/2 block away.  It thumped the whole time the furnace was running.  Since my bedroom is directly over the furnace it is especially annoying and needless to say I got very little sleep last night. The plumber says it is a quirk in the air movement system.  He didn't offer a solution.  There is no way I can continue to sleep in that room with that noise without some serious drugs.  I guess I will need to relocate my bedroom. We are off to Denver today to celebrate the two December birthdays at a restaurant in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center.  Fortunately, the weather is pleasant.
