This can also happen with two handle bath faucets. Basically, loose stem valves cause "chatter".
BTW, I've never seen a frost free hosebib here in The Villages. They are not needed here. Also, you should not remove your anti siphon valve unless you are replacing it with a new one.

I had to replace one, one time up north because one of the homes I owned had copper plumbing in it & one of the copper pipes that hooked into this spigot bursted & I had to replace a section leading up to this longer spigot! Yes, maybe they don’t have any use for them in Florida & you can only find them in colder climates. Sorry, don’t want to start an argument!
