Often called "water hammer", this is the effect of suddenly stopping a flow of water that's under significant pressure, i.e mains pressure.
The pipes wouldn't bang so much if they were properly clipped to prevent movement, so it would be a good idea if you did that.
If the pressure is particularly high then you could fit a shock arrestor. If the problem is marginal then you might find that partially closing the main stop cock will alleviate it.
