    Loud noise in the cold water from my shower
    I have a loud noise coming from my pipes when I turn on the cold water in the shower and when I flush the toilet in the same bathroom I have followed all the steps to try to drain the air from the pipes with no success what I did notice is that when I turn the water back on is that I can hear the same noise at the vale I also can see and hear the noise in the pipes for my sprinkler, the bathroom that the noise is coming from the outer bathroom next to the point where the main water line runs into the house.
