You need to make sure the pipe leading to the tap has enough fixings on it and the tap itself is well tixed down as this can lead to the tap vibrating.
Other than that it's most likely the washer in the tap. As it's a new tap it might just need openning and closing a few times to make sure the washer is seating properly.

Sorry, without more information this solution might be wrong. Sometimes the pipes get air in them after you turn off the water. What you normally need to do (if I understand your question) is run the water at FULL power. The pipes will vibrate for a few seconds then the air will be released and everything will be back to normal. I hope this solves your problem.
Good Luck!

turn off the water - there would desire to be a valve someplace between the loft tank and the faucet. faucet fashions selection, yet to get on the works you many times would desire to take out a screw so which you will pull off the take care of, unscrew the chrome cover, then use a spanner to take the faucet aside. you would be able to desire to oil the two the thread the place the works of the faucet land up and down (which will address the stiffness) and the shaft of the loose bit that holds the washer (which will address the noise). Use a water-proof grease - vaseline works nicely. Now you have have been given the subject of remembering the way all of it is going decrease back mutually - and what you probably did with the little screw!

You have to make sure that the pipe leading to this tap is securely fixed down .

Wow they just solved this problem on "Ask This Old House" recently. It has to do with a valve that has something to do with air pressure.
Check another plumber.
I'm sorry I don't remember better exactly what they did to fix it.

trace cold pipe and fit more fixings along the length of pipe run, this will be a problem if the pipe runs underfloor etc, only solution i'm afraid.

The washer is damaged, change the washer and it will stop vibrating. Guaranteed.
