When waster in basement fills with water and stops, I can hear is shake the line under the kitchen sink that is upstairs. I installed 2 arrestors on the washer lines, but it still does it.
 
Restrict the flow so the washer doesn't fill as fast by tightening the shut off valves a little for hot and cold. Reduce the velocity and it won't water hammer when the solenoid closes. I do toilets the same way. With strong constant pressure in the house all the appliances fill faster and can cause water hammer when there associated valve shuts quickly.
