I have a loud, constant thumping in the line when water is running. I'm not talking about the bang when the water is turned on or off (I get that too). This is a steady beat of 3 or 4 beats per second and it's faster with higher flow and sounds more like machinery running than banging. The sound is mostly coming from the line in the wall as it enters the house. Outside, the sound is faint but can be distinctly felt by placing hand on plumbing. Could it be surging from the water meter, which was replaced shortly after I moved in less than a year ago?
Water pressure is a little high, but not terrible. I'm thinking of adding a pressure regulator and anti-hammer device to the line coming in, but don't want to do all that and still have the thumping.
Here's a picture of the line coming in. The vertical line near the wall runs over to the irrigation valves, which make the most sound when they run.
