Have you tried a shock arrestor?

Doesn't seem to take much to suddenly have water hammer. I saw one house that nothing had been altered in the plumbing but suddenly hammer noise in hot when customer replaced her washing machine. I think the old original hot WM hose must have been taking the shock, until it become redundant.
Stopcocks turned down or an old hardened washer in them seem to make hammering noise also.
