Greetings,
I have an unusual water problem in my house that has crept up over the past few years. While the upstairs shower is being used or the toilet is refilling the tank as well as when the washer on the first floor is running and drawing water the water supply lines in our house buzzes. It is not any sort of air hammer noise, but an annoying hum. It is very apparent as you are on the first floor and the noise gets more apparent as you go to the basement and get closer to the supply lines. When following the noise it is all throughout the supply line entering the house in the basement wall and the noise can be heard as I pop the drop ceiling panels in the basement and trace the water line. Any ideas? The house was built in 1989. We have an expansion tank on our water heater but there is no sound whatsoever by the water heater. The sound is only during the drawing of water...and it is intermittent at times.
