Noise when kitchen tap is running

[NorthernLights811]

My kitchen tap started making a weird noise on the hot water the last 3 days. What could it be?

There is no pump in the water mains.

Take the tap cartridge out, and give it a good soak in lemon juice.

This was my first reaction too.

How come the noise is more prominent on the bottom part of the plumbing though?

I doubt it's that, as it's only on hot water.

I don't follow??

The tap mechanism is obviously the cause of the noise, the tap mechanism is the cartridge.....

You have one tap cartridge for the hot supply, another for the cold. Strip the hot tap cartridge out, and soak it in lemon juice, acetic acid, or kettle descaler.

Sorry, misunderstood, I thought you meant to take off the cap and soak it, to remove calcium deposits etc.

These are cheap taps, I have replaced many of them, not worth trying to replace any parts.
