    Noise in Pipe
    In the basement the laundry tub pipe and faucet is making a continuos noise which sounds like a toilet after you flush it. I am wondering if this is air in the faucet as it goes away when the water is turned on. The noise is continuous and I can hear it in my powder room on the main level. Any ideas on how I can get rid of this noise would be greatly appreciated. Janice

    Your noise is caused by vibration. I track noises down by felling where the vibration's the strongest. It vcould be a loose washer along with a bad seat in your laundry tray faucet or it could be toilet ballcock out of adjustment. You track it down and I'll tell you how to make it go away.
