Humming noise

[miawa]

Hi all,
For a strange reason, the house started humming and vibrating and the only way to stop the noise is to turn on the bath's cold tap. I don't want to be wasting water all night so can anyone try help me fix this?
No one was using the bathroom or the kitchen at the moment it happened so I found it a bit strange.


I don't know anything about plumbing or stuff to do with pipes. I live in a terraced house in the UK. I also have a foghorn sounding toilet that we don't use but that's not my highest priority

is the bath tap on the main or fed from the roof tank ?

foghorn wc = replace the washer in the ballvalve/fill valve

Thanks for replying!
I do not have a clue but I think it's from the main

sounds like water hammer, loose washer in one of the taps or main stoptap or pipework not fixed correctly, but alot of the time it's a knackered washer in a ballvalve/ fill valve, btw before someone suggests it turning down the main stoptap won't stop it unless thats the tap with the faulty washer

Thanks for helping
It's late here so I'll have to try fix it in the morning
