I recently changed the kitchen sink and mixer tap, and as the above title says, when I turn on the cold the pipes make a very loud "rushing" (or "shushing") sound.
It never did it with the old mixer tap, and the only obvious difference is that the new tap has small bore flexi hoses rather than copper tails. I'm assuming this is the problem, but is there any way to fix it other than replacing the hoses with tails (if it's even possible, given how small the threaded holes are in the tap)?
We've always had a similar noise when turning on a cold tap or flushing the loo in the bathroom & en-suite, although not as loud as the kitchen sink has got. Is there anything I can do to reduce this? It has a habit of waking the little 'un, as the rushing sound can be heard throughout the house.
Thanks in advance
