Default Water Hammer - But not your typical kind

a toilet, but this was many months ago, with many months of no noise.

I think that isolating the toilets should be my first (and easiest!)
step.


That can find if it is one of them, obviously. I've had issues w/ the
reducing valve failing in full open spot. Pressure itself isn't the
direct cause of hammer, of course, but higher pressure could be the root
cause of the cycling of a toilet valve. Or, it could be the reducing
valve spring itself chattering as it cycles.
