Outside water spigot
Why does the outside water spigot cause a vibrating noise when using it. Also, I’m using a retractable hose and when I turn it off the water sprays out at the spigot

It's the back-flow preventer

My spigot does not vibrate with or without a hose attached.

CWGUY, yes that’s what I’m talking about but the comment wasn’t real clear then. But the spray when turning ON or OFF does prevent from freezing because it does leave an air pocket about a foot back. Yea, I didn’t think about what you said, thanks for clearing that up for me!

The vibration is probably caused by the 90 degree elbow changing the direction of the water. You can put cotton or something soft next to the pipe where it goes through the wall. The second item is when you close off the hose nozzle the water pressure builders up and the hose isn't as tight as it should be and the joint leaks.
