I had a gas & electric smart meter fitted about 3 weeks ago.
Since then my outside gas meter makes a really loud noise every time the gas switches on, surely this can't be correct?

Some noise from your smart gas meter is considered normal, however if this is particularly loud or a beeping noise, it's best to look into it a little further.
All gas meters (Smart and traditional) have an internal battery that power them. This is designed to last for up to 20 years, with a meter recertification (exchanging the meter to replace it with a new one) scheduled every 10 years, so it’s unusual for this issue to crop up so soon. If your gas smart meter is making a beeping sound, it indicates that the battery is low and the meter will need replacing. If the battery fails this can affect the supply, so it’s important to reach out to our Support Team if you do ever notice that your meter is beeping.
