I have a very odd issue that I can’t solve, perhaps someone here could help. The pipe attached to my main shutoff valve is emitting a soft knocking sound at around 120 beats per minute. The sound persists as long as there is any amount of pressure, and I can feel it in the pipe nearby as well as in the valve handle itself. The weird part is that if I turn on any hot water tap, the noise vanishes. I’m a new homeowner so I don’t have much experience, so any help would be appreciated. What I’ve checked so far:

Drained the system completely and refilled

Turned the water off overnight and checked toilets for leaks

I don’t feel the pulse at the water meter line

Turning hot water on anywhere in the house stops the noise.

Thanks in advance!

    So I’ve already done this one. Exactly according to the link posted a bit further down but no dice. I’m really confused as to why this only seems tied to the hot water though
