to trap water so sewer gas will not be expelled into the living area Traps gases from sewer by resevoiring water and so if you drop a item it can or may be recovered Answer The U trap under a sink can also be used as a form of plunger when one has a blockage and no real plunger is at hand, squeezing the U trap a few times can generally clear small blockages.

Why do you hear noises when you turn on any water faucets in the house it happens when someone turns on the faucets but not the toilets or washing machine its loud?

depends what exactly you are hearing you may hear slight noises of a pump or the water moving through the pipes and impacting a turn unless u run into rly loud sounds or leaking i would not worry about it. another answer: the pipes may be vibrating because they are not firmly attached to the wall. Long pipes need a brace or attachment like every 10 feet or so.
