My kitchen sink faucet whistles when I use it. I figure it's just telling me how happy it is to be directing water for me. But I find it a little annoying. The sound closely resembles a shrieking teapot when the water is boiling. So I rush to the stove again and again only to discover that I don't own a teapot. OK, I don't really do that but I've spent a lot of time scratching my head on this one. ehow has yet another nice article on how to fix the whistling sound. I've had plumbing problems before (the kind that result from the water not staying inside the pipes) but I've never had the case of the whistling faucet. I thought it was my whole plumbing system but the sound only comes from the kitchen faucet and the upstairs shower head. When people take showers you'd think they were screaming due to hot water, but alas, it's just the whistling shower head. Online research has narrowed it down to two possible remedies. Either there is a bad washer or other component in the fixture, or the water pressure is too high to the house. Since the kitchen sink and shower head are the only noise makers in this house (excluding my kids 'cause you know kids never make any noise lol).. I have narrowed it down further to the fixtures themselves. I will be replacing them soon, 'cause I'm not digging the whistling. "Yah Sven, why did de sink whistle at me dere?" "De sink whistled at you so you'd take de hint and get de dishes done dere Ole."
