For the last week, I've been getting a periodic groaning noise coming from our cold water pipes. When it happens, the kitchen tap starts to leak but this leaking stops when the groaning stops. I can also make it happen by flushing the toilet and then turning on a cold tap.
The noise is coming from the downstairs pipes, at least, that's where it is loudest. We are also on a shared water main, shared between three houses including ours.
Does any know what could be causing this? Most of the information I have found has been about groaning pipes when a tap is turned ON, but in our case, it stops when we turn on a tap.
