noise

Hello all! Recently bought a house that was built in the 80’s and is on a well. When water is used in the house the pipe coming in from the well vibrates and makes a loud noise droning noise - unfortunately it runs through a cupboard under the stairs and reverberates throughout the house...

This is my 3rd unit. Brand new. There is like a short grinding, or shorting or buzzing on start up but then it runs quiet. Is this normal? I have a video and you can hear it. My first unit ran fine for 6 months then vibrated horribly on powering off. Nothing I could do to fix so Insinkerator...

Pressure Regulator Valve (PRV) and/or connections moaning sound, like a foghorn... 6+ months ago a plumber did the following, all inside the house: 1. replaced leaking line connecting to incoming city water supply line 2. installed 2 new ball shut-off valves 3. installed new Zurn Wilkins PRV...

Hi, I have gas baseboard hot water heat with two taco zone valves. One zone in particular makes a loud knocking noise whenever the thermostat calls for heat. The noise is coming from the first part of the zone right where the zone valve is. I've been in the house for one full winter and I've...

Hello - does anyone have experience to share regarding the relative noise level of wall hung toilets vs. traditional floor mounted toilets AND and differences between manufacturers and models of wall hung toilets? Thank you very much

Another day another mystery toilet sound haha. I'm hearing a soft hissing noise so I checked the usual culprits:flapper, overflow and they seem fine. Didn't seem like water was moving anywhere in the toilet so I turned water off to the toilet and emptied it.... Still hearing that sound! Is it...

Hello and thank you for any tips you may have! Basement Systems just installed an interior perimeter drain and sump pump. They installed the discharge line immediately underneath our bed’s headboard, under the bedroom window. The noise of the sump and the water rushing through the pipes we can...

When my dishwasher drains, there is a loud dishwasher drain noise. It's a gurgling sound emanating mostly from the airgap. The dishwasher drains to the airgap, which drains to a junction at the top of the disposal. Here's a YouTube link to the offending sound. At the end, I cover it to show...

I am chasing an elusive noise from my Lennox Furance. I have had service people out but they can't recreate the sound after countless attempts. I am never one to start swaping parts to see IF this works.... So here is the description - Thermostat calls for heat Inducer blower starts up and...

Hi folks, my first post... Thanks for having me! I recently purchased a new house and both my shower and tub on the top floor are making a strange buzzing sound that comes and goes when water is running. It's only on cold to middle, not on hot. It's an american standard faucet, and I've...

My American electric hot water heater (with expansion tank) makes a high-pitched noise when outside spigots are only partially open. This happens with the dishwasher also as I guess there's restricted flow there as well. I've flushed the tank which didn't help and checked the tpr valve which...

I just moved into my first home and was hearing loud cracking noises and I didn't know where it was coming from, I have now traced it to the ABS drain pipe running in the basement ceiling in the floor joists expanding and contracting when we use the hot water. It's a 2 inch ABS drain pipe and I...

Our current water pressure tank makes a loud noise about a minute after a water source is turned off. It is inside the actual tank and not the pipes, etc. Does this indicate a defective bladder? Second problem: I cannot find any information online about the gallon size tank needed for a...

Hi all, I'm wondering what precautions to take when running PEX through joists to prevent expansion noises. Is just running it through a clearance hole good enough? Should it go through some sort of hanger/bushing? How many 1/2" or 5/8" pipes would you put through one clearance hole? I was...

Hi, I am homeowner trying to troubleshoot a problem with my heater. I have Navien NCB-240E installed 1 1/2 yrs ago (manufactured 2016) on propane. I have 500gl outside propane tank with 2 regulators (on the tank and on the house). A month ago after refill my Navien started to make short (1-3sec)...

Hi, I'm curious if there are any experiences/insight beyond standard troubleshooting for this issue. The most practical resolutions i've seen so far are to straighten the fins (which i've done) and to ensure the return pipe is not resting on any metal hooks which could create noise... I do not...

Video not available. Sorry. This was captured by a camera I set up pointed at the water heater. It wakes people in my house at 6 AM or thereabouts nearly every day even though no one is using water or even up. It happens even if no heat/AC is on. The gas company and city (sewer) can find...

Every now and again (maybe once a month?) I hear a loud strong rumble that shakes the house a little. I even felt it while sitting out in my backyard once. Felt like a little earthquake! Not sure what it is or how to begin diagnosing it. Any ideas? We are on a well. Thanks!

I had a new electric 50 gallon water heater (Bradford White RE350T6) installed a few months ago. It makes a "refilling" noise for about 2-3 minutes after anytime hot water is used. This can be heard near any plumbing location throughout the house. The water heater itself is in the basement...

I'm not sure if this is for sure coming from the hot water heater as I can't pinpoint where it's directly coming from, but I've isolated it to the area of the water heater and seems to be coming from underneath in a pipe or somewhere I can't shine a flashlight into. But the noise as best as I...
