I have two bathtub faucets that seem to create a loud noise from water flowing through the faucet. One in a Moen single knob mechanism with a shower. When you turn on the bath tub knob the water makes heavy flowing noise, I know its not knocking or banging noise. I have a one story fairly new house. (6 years old)

The other is a Moen but with individual hot and cold handles. This does not have a shower. Either hot or cold make the noise.

The noise is so loud from either of these faucets, that if watching TV in the family room, the sound must be turned up.

Any idea? Could this be cause by water pressure too high? Anything else.

Thanks

Hello Moe,

Yes high water pressure could cause this, check the water pressure it should be 45-60 psi, use a water pressure test gauge see the image below, Thanks.

Afroo is correct. Check and reduce your pressure. What you hear is friction. Also, you may have undersized pipes.
