Odds are that it is the pressure reducing valve (regulator).  It is either defective or has a build up of debris.  Some models have screens that can be removed and cleaned.  Otherwise it is replace.

It sounds like a pressure reducing valve,(PRV).  Do you know your house PSI?  
Try this, Run the water until it starts to make noise. Now turn the adjusting screw up and down a bit to see if the noise stops.  Let me know if that works.  Good luck,  Tom
