Narrative:
Upon takeoff aircraft started making a very loud and rattling noise; it felt as if it was coming from the right side of the airplane. All indications on the EICAS were nominal; but I noticed that the cabin pressure wasn't climbing and the differential pressure was also 0. We were initially instructed to turn 250 and climb to 7;000 ft. After completing the after takeoff checklist I called for QRH-non message cabin pressure and I told ATC we were stopping the climb at 5;000 ft to troubleshoot an issue; we requested vectors and told them we would be returning. First officer read the checklist but I wanted to double-check since it called for the emergency depressurization of the cabin. I gave him the controls and radios and I followed the QRH after advising dispatch and briefing my flight attendants. After about 15 minutes; we were set up and returned for a normal landing. Requested priority handling to the field.
