what can cause water pipes to vibrate and make noise
there are many caused of vibration of water pipes some of common cuased discussed here
1 water hammer: Water hammers, also known as hydraulic shocks, occur when water is suddenly forced to change direction. this will creates the noise and vibration to the pipe due to shock. and this issue can be cure by adding air chamber at different location so that water should not change the direction
2 wobbly pipes friction is one of the main cuases of vibration and noise in the pipes
3 water pressure High water pressure doesn’t just put your pipes at risk, but can also lead to appliance breakdowns thats creates the vibration and noise
