Noise in Pipes
About two weeks ago, we started hearing a shrill noise coming from our guest bathroom. It sounds a bit like a smoke detector. We tracked it down to the pipes in the shower. The noise stopped when we ran water or flushed. Every time we hear it, water is being used by the dish washer or washing machine. We called a plumber and yesterday for $85 he told us that because the shower was rarely used, air was being trapped in the pipes. We should run water there once a week. Followed his instructions and today the noise came back while running the washer. The sink and toilet are used daily so they wouldn’t be the cause. Our house is 6 years old.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
