When your faucets are off, the water is sitting still. As soon as you open a faucet, water starts flowing out due to the pressure created by your water pump. Whenever you turn the water faucet off, the water supply is cut at the spigot and now all that water that was moving has now stopped, suddenly. Sometimes, when the pressure is too high, it can cause what is called water hammer. Water hammer is when a faucet is turned off, a shockwave is sent through the pipes, vibrating them sometimes throughout the entire house.
The water pipes are full of cold water. All that cold water has to be flushed from the pipes before the hot water from the tank reaches your faucet.
It depends on what the pipe is for. Domestic water pipes run between 30 -70 psi in general.

because the fingernails and teeth of a comb get to gether and make a vibration
Water will run until a valve or pump is shut off upstream from water main break.
straight pipes are louder than glass packs at first, glass packs have glass wool inside to help muffle the sound, when the glass wears out they get louder, it also depends on the length of the glass pack. if you get glass packs, you can run the car for awhile and shut it down and then spray water in the pipe, it will break down the glass, it might not be as loud as straight pipes but it will give you a better even sound versus straight pipes, I have both and done both.
because of overhead gravity, or local government water supply pressure pumping systems.
i did but it didnt help the fuel mileage and it dont sound very good either
There are midgets that live in the pipes that pass the water by mouth all the way to the sink. That is why it sometimes tastes funny. When you Clorox the pipes you kill the midgets, so don't.
The problem is the solinoid valve in the dishwasher Pay your water bill
That depends on your locality and how far down strata freezes.
Much of the time it is because of well water and the "hard" qualities of well water such as rust / lime etc... Sometimes turning on the hot water first and letting it run through pipes then turning it off and turning the cold water on helps. If that doesn't work, you may need to clean or replace the pipes, depending on how old they are.
