    You have a washer vibrating in the shower system. Start by removing the head and see if the vibrtionn/noise goes away. It could be in your mixing valve and, in that case, the noise will continue. Back to you

    If this is an older screw style washered valve, the washer screw most likely came loose. Not uncommon, have seen it 2X this year. .
