Hi. Whenever I turn on the hot water in my second bathroom bath tub there's a loud humming/groining noise in the walls. This is the only bathroom that makes any noise when water is turned on and this bath tub only makes the noise when the hot water is on. I've left it on for a long period of time and the noise doesn't stop. What could this be?

Thank you!

Question:
What kind of faucet do you have in the bath tub? single handle or multiple handles.

If the valve has a washer in it, if that washer is loose or damaged, when water flows by, it can vibrate and make quite a noise. If you're lucky, a simple washer replacement will solve the issue. There are probably other potential causes.
