Why do pipes rattle?
If you turn your water on, the water comes rushing down the pipe to where it was called for, when you turn it off there is an abrupt stop to the water flow. This is when most pipes start to shake and rattle. It can be easily fixed but only if you water lines are accessible. It usually happens when your water lines hit against your wooden floor joist. One fix for this can be done by installing a plastic pipe hanger that will go between your water lines and your joist. Another fix can be securely clamping your pipes to the wooded floor joist.
