  Examples of noncommutative self-coverings are described, and spectral triples
on the base space are extended to spectral triples on the inductive family of
coverings, in such a way that the covering projections are locally isometric.
Such triples are shown to converge, in a suitable sense, to a semifinite
spectral triple on the direct limit of the tower of coverings, which we call
noncommutative solenoidal space. Some of the self-coverings described here are
given by the inclusion of the fixed point algebra in a C$^*$-algebra acted upon
by a finite abelian group. In all the examples treated here, the noncommutative
solenoidal spaces have the same metric dimension and volume as on the base
space, but are not quantum compact metric spaces, namely the pseudo-metric
induced by the spectral triple does not produce the weak$^*$ topology on the
state space.
