For the past few weeks, whenever we flush the en-suite toilet, there seems to be a prolonged vibration noise which lasts for approx a minute after flushing. The noise is similar to a chair/table being dragged across a tile floor (we also have a toddler!).
This weekend, we've also started getting the same noise when the washing machine is on (I assume when it's filling). One of the pipes can be felt vibrating, and it can even be felt under the bathroom floor! The noise/vibrations, can be alleviated by running the cold tap at the same time.
Flushing the main bathroom toilet, and/or the downstairs toilet don't currently cause the noise (though previously the downstairs toilet did, but later seemed to resolve itself).
The noise is constant when it occurs, and NOT like a hammering/banging noise, so I'm not sure whether this is water hammer or not (anyone???).
I'm just wondering where to start. I've done a lot of reading about, stop cocks, clipping pipes, the cold water tank etc, but wondering if someone can advise based on the above where to start narrowing this down.
The central heating system is gravity fed if that makes a difference.
