I remodeled a bathroom a year ago. Recently the faucets started humming,
somewhat loudly, as you turn them on or off (very low volume). This is a price
pfister faucet, IIRC, with an internal rubber seal about 1/4" in diameter by
1/4" long. Any ideas on fixing this?


You could try adjusting the angle stop, just a little bit.


Yes. Closing the under-sink valve a bit virtually eliminates the noise. Thanks
everyone.



Inspect in a day or so. Sometimes tampering with the valve might cause
a leak. It's suggested too never have the angle stop valve at full on,
but to turn it down a bit. After any repairs.
