Hello,
I am new to this forum.
We have a split level house with four levels (basement, ground level, first floor, second floor).
There is a small bathroom with toilet, sink, and shower stall (equipped with a hand held shower head) on the first floor.
Whenever we turn on the shower, when we turn the hot water knob about a quarter turn, we start getting a loud, horrible vibrating noise--it sounds like someone is playing a tuba--loudly and badly. It echoes and vibrates throughout the entire house and scares the bejeebers out of the cats.
The noise stops when the hot water is turned on more fully. The noise also happens as the hot water is being turned off.
There is also a larger bath on the top floor with a drop in jacuzzi, sink and toilet, but this does not happen up there.
The noise comes from behind the wall where the plumbing to the shower is. Does anyone have any idea what may be cauing the noise and how I can make it stop?
