By chance, is that "particular spot" near a toilet? You may have a fill valve that is going bad and when water is used (anywhere) the valve is sucking air and causing the vibration. You can test this by shutting off the supply valve under the toilet and then turn on a faucet. Just an experienced guess though.

i be responsive to that's an previous placed up, even with the undeniable fact that, we've been experiencing the comparable matters. The pipes vibrated loud as quickly as we would run water for awhile. I searched throughout for solutions on line. Had a plumber right here for yet another subject and asked him approximately it, and that i by no ability chanced on the the final option answer. So, now that we solved the concern of the vibrating pipes i had to share the easy restoration. observed the lavatory tank gave the impression of it began a drip and the interior gave the impression of it mandatory new aspects. $20 for a tank rebuild kit and in line with probability 20 minutes, not greater vibrating pipes. i wish this helps somebody.

Sounds like the city has increased your water pressure, you can buy a gage at the hardware store to see if it is under 80lbs. The pipes are moving (hammering) from the force of the water moving, and suddenly stopping. You can add arresters to help, not stop, the noise.

Go to the hardware store and ask for an inline water hammer arrester. These are pre-pressurized pipes that you can install yourself to stop this noise and readily avaiable at any good hardware store.

I suspect that you have a loose screw on a valve stem seat washer.
If this problem is occurring when you use a particular tap, then shut off the water to that fixture and remove the valve stem to repair.

There is not way to do it without cutting into the wall and securing the pipes. Call a handyman.
