Hi Everyone,
I moved into a reasonably new (2-3 years old) rental apartment about a year ago now. Recently started to be kept awake at night by periodic, loud, creaking noise which is coming from the plumbing.
Well tonight I decided to investigate and as far as I can tell the source is what I believe to be a HoneyWell Pressure Reducing Valve (looks like this).
A quick Google revealed this data on a similar HoneyWell valve. The troubleshooting section seems to suggest tweaking the outlet pressure to resolve problems with "whistling" noises.
Although I'm no expert, I'm keen to attempt resolving this problem myself as it will take my landlord about a month if I leave it to him(based upon past experience).
So my questions are:
Based upon the product data for this valve, altering the outlet pressure looks reasonably simple.
Any help received is very greatly appreciated.

- Is it likely that varying the outlet pressue will fix my creaking problem?
- Is there any potential damage I could cause by attempting this?
