: : The water pipes in my home run very loudly when using the bathtub faucet until the shower is turned on. At that point, it runs nice and quiet. The loud noise can be heard throughout the house and is loud enough to wake people. This only happens when using the bathtub.: : Can this be fixed? What could the problem be?: Could you describe the noise in more detail. Does is sound like water running through pipes or is it a vibrating sound?It it a loud rush of water through the pipes that can be heard throughout the house. It is not a vibrating sound. When we divert the water to the shower (there is a pin we pull up in the tub spout) the water noise disappers.
