Cold water makes a lot of noise - excessive pressure?

[omega_prime]

Hi,

I am hoping I can do something about the excessive noise that cold water creates in my parents' house. It is ex-council and about 3-4 years ago we installed a shower, and as far as we can remember, prior to that we didn't have any loud noises like this.

I have provided some diagrams (please excuse the crudeness of it) and if you do need further explanation of my poor drawings please tell.

My initial thoughts were to use a drinking tap which will be a smaller pipe in itself and have them filters fitted to make use of the effort it would take but if I could avoid drilling into the sink to put a new tap in, it would be the better option.

I can't add img url and the attachments would be too small for my diagram so sorry if this isn't fully abiding by the rules.

I also had a look at the pipes going up between the kitchen and my room, doesn't seem to be very much in the way as a way of dampening.. maybe I could use the foam often used to keep heat inside the pipes as a way to reduce noise?

Clutching at straws here

Yep, pretty dusty up there, well I am not cleaning it tonight

True, I will sort something out. Wrapping the cold in foam (with self-seal) and then forcing it up the chamber can't do any harm though?
