Noisy water pipes can be irritating, especially when they are banging, rattling, and vibrating in the middle of the night.
There can be a whole host of reasons why water pipes are noisy, and these can include:
Loose water pipes – this is often found in older houses, where over time they have come loose from fittings
High water pressure – if water is pushed into your appliances at too high a pressure, not only will it create noisy pipes, it will also likely cause damage to the internal components of the appliance
Water hammer – this occurs when you shut off the water suddenly, and the fast moving water rushing through the pipe is brought to a quick halt, which creates a hammer noise.
