Boiler making whistling noise

Hoping someone might know how to fix this as it's getting on my nerves! Old style boiler with water tank (not combi) started whistling yesterday when I happened to switch the water on to heat at exactly the same moment as DH flushed the upstairs toilet. Google tells me it's probably air in the system and I'm assuming that happened because the water flow was reduced (by the toilet refilling) at the moment the boiler tried to start pulling in water, but it doesn't tell me how to release said air. Can call HA for a repair if absolutely necessary but it's like pulling teeth trying to get an appointment so if it's a quick, simple fix it's easier to do it myself, just need to know how!

Feel really cheeky doing this but @PigletJohn do you happen to be around and know the answer to my question? I hope it's not annoying being the MN resident expert but you are commonly regarded as the fount of all knowledge in these matters Smile I often wonder if you are in fact the owner of my local hardware shop (sadly closed today or I would be seeking his wisdom rather than bothering you) as he also knows everything Grin

So you have a hot water cylinder. What colour is it?

When did the whistling stop?
