Question shower noise

I have a client who is complaining about high pitch noise from their shower. Wondering if anyone can tell me the cause and possibly a remedy for this? Is there a good site one can go to for plumbing questions?

Thanks
Grover

if you remove the government required flow restricter (as many of us do)in a recently manufactured shower head and install it in a home with good to high water pressure it may just scream at you...been my experience...jim

It's an easy fix. Buy an adjustable shower head. At least then you can vary the pitch and sing along.
They can be very annoying. We had one in a new vacation rental unit, that would vary with well pump pressure. Changing the head fixed it.
