Or, should I call the faucet company and ask about how to rectify the

I'd do the water hammer arrester. My guess is that you replaced an
old, short handled faucet with a new, long-handled one, and now you
are essentially turning off the flow of water much more decisively,
hence, you now have a water hammer. It can happen anywhere you have a
quick closing valve.

So the solution is to close the valve more slowly.....

Tried that.... didn't work. Kick still there even if I lift very slowly

Noticed something odd (at least odd to me). When I turned the handle from
hot to cold the turning radius goes further in the hot direction than in the
cold direction. I can only turn 45 degrees toward the cold. But, almost 70
degrees in the hot direction. Is this normal?

Maybe the water hammer arrester is the way to go?
