    Yes, those are valves in image 055 and I can adjust them by taking off the oval plate from inside the shower.
    Those can be adjusted though I am dumbfounded as to why nothing happens. I tried turning...

    The handle moves from -90 to about 80 degrees. I put the handle on 10 degrees so that it mixes hot and cold water.
    When it makes that noise, I just move the handle below 0 degrees, then the noise...

    For the water pressure gauge, I would need to place it between the diverter and the pipe leading to the shower head? I'll need to do some research to find out how (what materials I need) to cut &...

    Thanks for the reply!
    I tried holding the copper pipe, but the noise doesn't fade nor change much. Also, when this noise/sound occurs, the water pressure drops significantly.

    Ok, I just noticed that I completely forgot to mention this, but in the shower, the tub faucet works perfect. It never makes any sound and has consistent pressure. Only when I lift the "blocker"...

    Also, this only happens when...

    Thanks, hkstroud. I would still do as you suggested if the cold water in my shower works absolutely fine (good pressure and no noise) and just happens with the hot water, correct?
  9. Thanks for the suggestion, appreciate it :)...

    Thanks for the suggestion, appreciate it :) Temporarily I have put some foam around the pipe which is inhibiting it from getting in direct contact with the metal stud.

    How would I check the stop valves for a loose washer?

    The white pipe in the picture is the hot water pipe and it vibrates. But the noise is much louder than mere vibration; almost like a horn.

    AFAIK, the shower does not have any kind of temperature/pressure balancing feature.

    I'd also like to mention that after I flush the toilet and the noise stops, the water pressure goes back to low after maybe 30-45 seconds.

    Thanks for the quick reply, hkstroud.
    I have a single handle shower valve for both hot and cold water.

    I have some pics if that helps:
