It's not unusual for people to sing when they shower. If the showerhead appears to be joining you in making noises, whistling, or even hissing, it may alter your song.

These loud, high-pitched sounds aren't only irritating -- they could be a sign of a problem with the plumbing within your home. In this post, we'll be discussing the five main reasons for a shower that whistles.

• The showerheads need to be replaced. Sometimes the best solution is to replace the showerhead that is already old. Over time, the minerals in the water may build up and block the tiny showerhead nozzles. It's relatively simple to exchange your shower head for a different one to see if it will solve the whistling issue.

• The showerhead pipe is clogged. When water moves through the pipe coming out of the wall and into your showerhead, it will need to go through a tiny hole. If the pipe becomes blocked by any mineral deposits, it could make a whistling sound while it tries to get through. To resolve this issue, take the showerhead off and clean the showerhead pipe.

• The shower valve is worn out. It is the one that is activated when you turn the handles on the shower. It regulates the flow and mixing of cold and hot water. If the valve is worn out, you could observe a few indications like whistling or leaking. In order to change the valve in your shower, you'll have to access the plumbing beneath the shower, which typically involves opening the space on the wall. Due to this difficulty, it's best to let it be handled by an expert.

• A blocked shower cartridge. Another place that could be blocked is the shower valve, which is located inside the valve for showers. But, this area is more difficult to reach and might require you to call an experienced plumber to repair the cartridge.

• A faulty diverter valve. Have you ever wondered how water flows from the faucet of the tub toward the shower head? That is the function of the diverter valve. Examine whether the whistling sound changes as you pull the lever from the valve. If it does, it might be the problem with the part that requires replacement.

It's not necessary to use earplugs when taking bathing at your home. If you're sick of the whistling and the squealing sound that your bathroom makes, contact the experts in your area.
