If it is one of the older style fawcets that use washers, I'm guessing the screw that holds the washer is loose or maybe even missing. When you open the valve just the right amount the washer can oscilate from the water passing around it and make a amazingly loud, annoying noise. You'll need to shut off the water, remove the fawcet stem and see if that is the case. Its is usually an easy repair.

If it is from the hot water side of the faucet (if you have a three handle faucet. Try turning the temp down on you water heater. Some times this will help. If not you will need to replace the washers.
