We bought a house about a year ago and notice that whenever someone showers upstairs in the morning, at hand is a knocking that sounds close to its coming from the wall/ceiling area below the bathroom, downstairs. It starts stale fairly loud and promptly, and then slows down and get quieter after a few minutes, finally stopping altogether. Subsequent showers that morning do not cause it to label the same nouns (unless someone showers in the evening -- after it does it again).
We did replace the fixtures in that shower beforehand we moved in. As we never used the shower since we moved in, we don't know if it made that nouns before next or not. There is a small access panel in the subsequent room and I can reach the support portion of the on/off faucet, a small portion of the pipe that leads up to the showerhead, and a small nouns of the pipes that lead downstairs. For quotation, these are poly pipes, but the plumber spliced in apex for that small portion when he installed the fixtures. Any ideas/solutions?
Answers: What loving of faucet is it? Brand name.
I own seen Pegasus faucets do that previously. It's the balancing spool inside the faucet
I would check the pressure in your house. It could be too much pressure as in good health.

It might be the expansion of the drain or water rank as it warms up. Does it put together the noise a bit later like way?
sometimes the knock you refer to is caused by nouns in the lines (that usually run to the highest point surrounded by the system). there are "vents" on the marketplace that help remove this nouns and reduces knock.
