they are all different and you don't say what kind yours is. Basically, you shut the water off, take it apart and change the seals or control ball. Best way to ID the part is take the internal parts to a Plumbing store and ask them for a kit or seals for it.

To remove a valve stem you have to do the following

1- shut off the water supply

2- remove the handle

3- remove the escutcheon if applicable

4- open the valve to the half open position so it does not bind

5- use a shower socket for the size valve bonnet for the type of valve you have, Gerber, Savoy, Sterling, etc

Since the home is two story a small indoor air conditioner will not be able to cool the whole house by itself. To get this home to be cool you will need to use a A/C system both upstairs and downstairs.

I doubt its your valve.its sounds like you have a drain or a vent problem ,a drian that's falling backwards or has a slight stoppage will make that noise

This is probably due to one of two things. Either the arm coming out the wall needs to be resealed with plumbers thread tape (thin white teflon tape) or where the head goes into the arm it may need a new washer. Failing these options, check for cracks.
