Best Answer

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.

Is straight pipes louder than a glass pack?

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.

Why do your pipes smell like rotten eggs when you turn on the shower?

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.
