I believe it is due to the pressure build up within the pipes once the water is turned off. I know they sell a product that you place in one of your pipes that serves as a buffer to stop the rattling.

Is sounds like a fog horn when you turn on your faucets Is this air in the lines?

It could be, however it could also be two of the following options. Try these before trying to establish whether its air in the pipes. Replace the jumper and washer, a rattling jumper can cause a tap to sound as if it is blowing like a fog horn. Secondly, check that all the pipes are secure, a rattling pipe somewhere can cause the same problem. Thirdly check the lines for air.
