Noise on SQ A330
Hi All 
Last week I flew from SIN to ADL and just after take off, possibly before top of climb there was a noise which sounded like rocks/ice/hail rolling down the overhead lockers. Starts off noisy and sounds like it literally "rolling" down the cabin. I know that is a really bad description but I was curious.
Any ideas what it is?

It is actually thousands of tiny ice particles detaching themselves from the inner lining of the airconditioning ducts usually after the cabin temp has raised ever so slightly! Every now and then if you have your air vent open you may even get a wee spot of ice (no bigger then a fleck of dust) fly into your face!!!
