    Home pipes make noise ONLY when water is running??

    PEX noise question

    Hi all! I'm an old retired guy on a very limited income so I have to fix things myself. Anyway, we are living in a house with a PEX plumbing system here in southern California and recently every-time someone flushed the toilet, we could hear a faint 'knocking' or 'pulsing' or 'pumping' sound. We...
