Hi.

Moved into a newly built house. When running the showers (2 of them) they both make a whining/vibration noise when the water comes up to temperature. All new equipment installed as it is a new build. The noise comes from the bar with the taps on it rather than the shower head itself on both showers.

Have had the plumber that built the place back twice to look at it but they haven't fixed it. The noise is loud enough to wake people when it happens.

Other than replacing the tap bars in the showers is there anything else I could do to solve this type of problem?

Try turning down the supply pressure.
Is there a pump in the system?

Also clean out the inlet filters in the bar.
