| Please help solve the mystery of my singing sink faucet! (I posted this in "kitchens" but was referred here - hopefully someone can help :-)
Ever since the kitchen was completed, I've noticed that my Rohl Country faucet "sings" - makes an odd moaning sound. Sometimes, but not always. When it sings, the pressure is lower. When it doesn't, the water pressure is greater. I cannot seem to corrolate this with the dishwasher or shower or washing machine running. What's up with that? Is something wrong? I recorded a video on my phone where you can hear the faucet singing - interestingly when I switch to the side spray it immediately stops. But this forum rejected the file type. |

| maybe there's a wind passing through the pipe that creates odd sounds. it may come from below or above your sink. |

| On the other hand we could say, "Maybe you have a happy faucett"....LOL Having said that, let us now get down to the buisiness at hand. From your description it is indicating that something is loose and causing a rapid change in the internal working pressure as the water flows through. The most common cause is a small piece of debris inside the faucett that is interfering with flow, or it could be a loose washer or spring. |
