I'm having an issue where I'm hearing rattling pipes when the hot was is used in one of my bathrooms. All the plumbing in my house is underneath in a craw space and is easy to get to. I find the exact spot where the rattling is occurring. All the pipes are secure. When I put my hand around the pipes, it feels like there is air in the pipes. After a few minutes of the water running, it stops.
Any ideas?

Now, HOW would air get INTO a pipe, without someone pumping it in? It is probably a toilet fill valve or faucet somewhere, but NOT where you feel the vibration.
