What should I do if my shower valve is making noise?
The solution is to turn off the water to the bathroom, disassemble the faucet and replace the worn rubber parts on the cartridge or valve stem. If you have a noisy ball-valve or disk faucet, you’ll probably find worn gaskets inside the water inlets.
What should I do if my water hammer is making noise?
Getting rid of the loud banging caused by water hammer may be as simple as turning down the water pressure; follow the pipes from the hot water heater to find the pressure regulator. If that doesn’t work, it isn’t difficult to solder a water hammer arrestor — which has an air chamber to absorb pressure — onto the hot or cold water pipe.
Why is my shower pipe hammering when I turn it on?
Everything went well, until I turned it on, now the shower pipe is hammering. The tub pipe is fine, no hammering at all. Any ideal as to why this would happen? I replace the one in the master bath and had no issues at all (I think I used delta brand for that one).
Why does my shower make a vibrating sound when I turn the water off?

Why does my shower make a thumping noise when I Turn on the water?
Water hammer can also happen when you turn the water on, and sometimes you’ll notice it when a particular faucet, such as the one in the shower, is partially on. A certain flow rate in the faucet creates a resonant vibration that causes the water to bounce back and forth in the pipes.
What to do when your shower pipes shake?
You may temporarily relieve water hammer by using the shower faucet’s access panel on the wall directly behind the faucet to access the water valves. If you partly close the valves and constrict the amount of water flowing through the pipes, the water hammer may subside.
