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
