Default Has Anyone Had A Water Hammer Arrestor Installed?

I have a water hammer noise.....where the pipes rattle near my shower whenever the toilet is flushed, the kitchen faucet is shut off, or the washing machine water shuts off. I had a plumber (who came across as not being very confident) tell me they would have to cut the drywall out and install a water hammer arrestor by the shower. I had the people who make these arrestors tell me that you have to put one near each thing causing the water hammer....i.e. the toilet, the kitchen faucet, the washing machine and that you do not have to cut out the drywall to do it. We are not handy so we do not know what is right. Any ex-plumbers out there know?
