Kitchen Tap noise

[triplexxx2070]

Hello,

My tenant has just provided a video regarding the kitchen tap that is making a noise when turned on, it's progressively got worse over the week. He said it makes a noise even if other taps in the house are opened, no issues with water flow and no leakages anywhere.

Not able to upload video.

Any ideas what could be causing the issue?

TIA

Without hearing or having a description of the noise then I'm not sure what you are expecting, there are loads of things can make a tap make lots of different noises. One is if the location has higher mains pressure then it could be a worn 1/4 turn ceramic valve complaining.

Loose ceramic disc rattling?

Managed to upload the video now which should make it easier to hear the noise and possible reasons.

Sounds like ceramic disc/cartridge failure

Yup +1 ... a worn/loose ceramic disc by the sounds of it, does it change when you open another outlet? Do you have good mains water pressure?

Mains pressure is still good and the noise also happens when other taps around the house are opened, 2 bathrooms.

Mains pressure is still good

the question about the mains pressure is that worn ceramic valves tend to complain when the mains pressure is good as it's the water pressure pushing past the ceramic plate that makes it chatter. New valves required I would think.
