Rattling hose down pipes, something to be worried around?

Live in an frail 70+ year house in Boston. Probably unproved copper water pipes. Pipes be working fine, until recently nearby is a rattling crash in the pipes when we flood the tub on the second floor. Its fairly riotous, like nouns is stuck in the pipes, and usually go away after a few seconds, probable when we increase or decrease the flow of hose in the tubs. Is this something to be worried around? Should I get a plumber to thieve a look at it? It has never happen with this regularity contained by the 6 years we have lived contained by the house. thanks


Answers:    It would almost distinctly be air contained by the line. As you turn on the faucet, the sea pressure forces the air up and out, and that creates vibrations. Since it go away, I would look for some kind of nouns leak specifically allowing the air to seize to the top of the pipe. First, though, I might look at the faucets and see if they are holding the pressured water right to their introductory taps. Are they leak a bit? How old are they? The elder screw type valves do wear down after years, especially contained by older applications.
DO YOU HAVE WATER RADIATORS FOR HEAT?
IF SO TRY BLEEDING ALL OF THEM AS THE AIR MIGHT BE TRAPPED IN THERE.
bleeding mode to open a small spigot on the radiator to let the heavens out.
