Default Fog Horn when turning on faucet or flushing toilets

Recently we have been having a fog horn noise whenever we turn on a
faucet or flush toilets. Any suggestions as to what could cause this
to happen and how to stop it. This seems to happen every year and
continues for about a week or two, but this time it is continuing to
happen. It has been doing this for about 1 month. The fog horn noise
will go for about 1 minute and then stop and it is not everytime but
most of the time.
Thank


The noise is not coming from the pressure regulator, is it?? You
probably have one, and some are famous for making noise. They vibrate
depending upon the back pressure, and that varies due to the water
heater temperature/pressure. If so, try increasing the pressure by
tightening the adjustment screw a turn or so.
