: I hope someone can help me with my problem. I live in a two story house with copper water lines when we use the water "It doesn't seem to matter hot or cold" sometimes we hear a sound like a fog horn coming from the wall. It seems to happen more often when we shut the water off. What can I do to remedy this problem?
: Thank You for any help you can give Tommy Woolf

: tw- the noise you hear is probably related to a toilet ballcock, but any fixture with a loose gasket, washer, seal, etc. can cause this noise by setting up a vibration while water passes thru it....annoying at best. Generally, we find toilet ballcocks to be the biggest culpret. Try shutting off the water to the closest toilet, and check for the noise...check several times. It may be as easy as replacing the ballcock. try that 1st.
