Question

Pipe Noise


I have noise that comes from the pipes, when the toilet is flushed and shower is in use. It sounds like a horn or the pipes are vibrating against a wall stud. Vibrations do not seem to be that strong from pipes in the basement.
Any idea what the problem could be? Ever ran into this before?

Re: Pipe Noise


Funny you say this, I saw what may be the same thing recently flipping channels on tv. The culprut was a bad flapper valve and/or float in the toilet. Don't know if it's your problem or not, I'm not a plumber. Good luck
