Whistling noise

Whistling noise from a tap can be due to a worn washer or a dirty aerator in the tap. It can also come from your toilet and could be due to a ballcock valve or a vertical overflow tube.

It could also be due to a broken pressure regulator, defective main water supply valve or mineral buildup in the pipe.

Humming, thrumming or vibrating noise

These noises can be due to high water pressure. Your appliances can get damaged by high water pressure and you can also get a high water bill.

Water pressure issues can be fixed by installing a pressure regulator.

Rumbling noise

It is not your stomach which is rumbling. You may have a large accumulation of sediment in your water heater or pipes.

Creaking or squealing Noise

Do you hear a creaking sound after you have taken a hot water shower?

Copper pipes can expand as hot water travels through them. They will ultimately contract and retain their shape again resulting in squeaking noises as they rub against the walls. This can arise when the copper pipes are not insulated properly.

Dripping noise

A constant dripping or ticking sound can be annoying. It can be an indicator of a loose pipe or thermal expansion.
