Are whistling pipes bad?
Whistling pipes can be more than just an annoyance, they can also be an indicator of a bad valve somewhere in your plumbing or an impediment inside one of your pipes. The whistling sound you hear, could be caused by water passing through a deteriorating valve or over a mineral build up in your pipes.
How do I stop my water pipes from whistling?
An easy way to eliminate whistling water pipes is to install a water pressure valve. Often, the water supply company can install this type of valve, which will reduce the water pressure and eliminate the whistling and hissing noises of behind your walls and ceiling.
