As far as I know, its usually a loose washer in the piping somwhere or a mishapen one. An old plumber told me if you hammer the washer on flat surface, that can correct it. Basically as you run the water it resonates creating the noise. The washer is probably in the faucet btw. Like I said I'm no expert just saying from experience.

What causes the fan belt in a 1993 tracker to squeal?
It can be several things, either by themselves, or in combination. 1) the belt has dried up and isn't as grippy any more. This causes it to slip and squeal. There are sprays available to restore grip on belts which might help. 2) the belt has stretched a little, which causes it to slip and squeal. Retension, usually by adjusting the alternator position and it should be OK. 3) one of the auxilliaries(alternator, power steering pump, water pump) is about to seize. If it's harder to rotate the belt will slip and squeal.
