Since using a plunger in an upstairs bath tub we now have a very evident "squeaking" in the pipes when any faucet (down or upstairs), toilet or shower is turned on. This noise lasts as long as the water is flowing. Although the other night this noise woke me up and did not stop until I turned the water on and off. Any suggestions on how to fix?

Well the supply on the toilet might have shaken while you plunged the toilet. On the wild side here, many time a plumber will use a wedge in a sub floor hole where the pipe comes through to hold pipe while soldering. I'm assuming you have copper pipes. Just for an experiment get the pipes to make noise and grab onto the toilet supply and see if the noise changes or stops and do that on the sink supplies, You can shake them around a bit to test.
Another possibility is the water pressure in house may have changed and no you have water "hammer" Some structures do and that can be resolved with a water hammer arrestor. Try these couple things and post back

Thank you 21Boat. I took off the top of the back of the toilet and made the noise happen again, as you suggested. I discovered the tubing from the Fluidmaster fill valve had a slight hole in it and the seal was dripping. I cut some new tubing and added a seal and no sound!! Thank you for your suggestion, sometimes all you need is a push in the right direction.

"Studies show we take in as much or more chemicals from showering as we do from drinking water."(Rutgers Univ.)
Compare Shower Filter Brands

Whole House Water Filters offer quality water throughout the home. Lots of manufacturers avoid certification, ask for documentation of capacity and performance claims.
Compare Top 5 Whole House Filters

All performance claims and pricing were taken from the manufacturer's literature and certified claims.

Many models were considered and not included in this comparison because of undocumented or exaggerated performance claims. Some brands made exaggerated claims in their literature and on company web sites that did not match their "certified claims". Only performance claims that have been certified by NSF, UL or the CA. Dept. Of Health were included in our comparisons.

The water treatment industry is extremely regulated. Companies that market undocumented products, or make uncertified claims are heavily restricted as to how and where they can sell their products. Beware of products that offer different Performance Claims in different states. CA, WI, IA, and several other states, prohibit uncertified claims.

I would get the water tested and go from there that way when you pick a filter you know what you are shooting for
