Hi everyone. I searched the site and found a lot of great info on my humming pipe problem, but heres what I have so far.
About a month ago, my pipes started with an occasional soft hum while the hot or cold water was running in the kitchen sink and upstairs shower. I could make it stop by slightly running another sink to releave the pressure. But it started to get louder and made noise with the other sinks, so I searched this forum for advice.
I bled the pipes, and the humming stopped for a couple of days, but it came back. I ran the water and while it was humming, I turned off each sink/toilet angle stop one by one, but it didn't stop the humming. I changed the PRV(set at 60psi) and I thought it was cured, but it again came back 2 days later.
Could it be a loose pipe in the wall? But if it is a loose pipe, would it stop after bleeding the pipes and come back? Could it be a bad washer in the shower? Any other suggestions?
