    Remove the stem check the washer at the end make sure it is not loose and also check inside for any loose object.

    Sounds like a flowvalve shutoff. Do you have a high flow shutoff?

    Or sounds like a little piece of solder in the pipe. Remove stem and flush out the pipe. Might blow the solder out.

    Was there a tap before ? If so, it sounds like something is loose in that hose valve. Make sure stem is sitting tight inside the faucet and as suggested above, washer is not loose. In general, double check your installation

    If it is a brand new installation than you may look further down the line to see what generates that noise. Look at plumbing fixtures near by

    Back to you
