I am getting a loud rattling noise from the cold water valve in one of my faucets when cracked open, but stops when fully open. None of the other fixtures in the house do this so I'm thinking it isn't water hammer,if not, what could it be?
 
Hammer happens when you close a faucet quickly and the water in the pipe wants to keep moving because of its momentum but can't.

You probably have a gasket or seal that is loose and fluttering. Replace it along with any worn parts.
