When it collects at a faucet you get violent vibrations (water hammer), until then you have only whistling.  The remedy is to turn off all fixtures, leave water main on,  then crack open each fixture slowly, one at a time, starting with the fixture closet to the water source.  Good luck.</p>kazenoya1kazenoya152answer2.0Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:01:05 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/quiet_whistling_water_pipes_home_350891331952604/whistling_water_pipes_caused_air_149733015675750?src=rss:qb:qbihttp://yedda.com/questions/quiet_whistling_water_pipes_home_350891331952604/addition_valve_way_open_plumber_627851792374039?src=rss:qb:qbi<p>in addition to the above...a valve might not be all the way open , or the plumber applied too much solder and the water is wistling as it goes over the solder. not too much you can do about that one.</p>plumbinatorjimplumbinatorjim48answer3.0Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:20:13 GMThttp://yedda.com/questions/quiet_whistling_water_pipes_home_350891331952604/addition_valve_way_open_plumber_627851792374039?src=rss:qb:qbi
