: Our pipes hum and vibrate - sometimes very loudly - when no water is running. When I turn on a faucet it stops and then starts again when I turn it off. What is this all about??? After you are 100% sure there is no electrical current flowing across the pipe from, for example, a faulty ground connection then maybe you should look for the source. Maybe some pipe runs along an area where there is a transformer or it might run to a fridge (water dispenser) which has a humming compressor. Pipes carry noises over long stretches. Once the sourc is found you can try bolting down near the source, isolation etc.
