I get a whistle or whine when some faucets are running. I opened up the pressure regulator and it seems to have stopped it.
I am assuming the speed of the water makes one of the pipes vibrate at just the most annoying frequency?
Any other ways to stop this sound? It went on for a while at 4:00 am when the sprinklers came on.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

If a toilet valve has a small leak, it will make a funny sound throughout the house when the pressure in the pipes is changed.

PS- maybe a couple 6 volts will help, too...

I advise the use of a Perko switch so you can connect/disconnect the electrodes in your sphincter at convenient times.

Sometimes you gotta do what it takes to keep the sea monkeys under control.

open your sprinkler vavle one turn to allow more water to flow, and turn your water time down. Also check your water pressure, should be 55-70psi. If you need anything pm me and i will take a look at it.
