Sounds like a bad/failed water pressure regulator.

Can you use a water recirculating pump in a house that has a pressure regulator?
Yes, because the water you are recirculating is already past the pressure regulator.
What causes sudden pressure surges in your faucets and refrigerator door water dispenser?
I would purchase a Watt water pressure guage from your local home improvement or hardware store and check your water pressure at your faucet. If water pressure is greater than 40-45psi your regulator needs to be turned down where the water comes into the house.
How much will it cost you to fix a water pressure regulator in your bathroom?
About $26 at Home Depot for a 3/4" regulator
What should you do if your downstairs bathroom continues to run after the toilet is flushed and turning the valve off did not work?
check your pressure regulator valve or house pressure .Replace fixture stop and ballcock assy also r&r flapper
Where is the fuel pressure regulator hose located on a 2001 sportage?
the hose is connected to a little cylinoid on the front side of the fuel rail called a fuel injector pressure regulator. This housing kinda resembles a Mario Bros. type mushroom house. It is about two inches tall by maybe one inch wide. You must remove alot of the top engine to get to it though.
What causes high water pressure in the first faucet on the water line from where it enters the house. The cold water is under high pressure but other faucets in house are fine.?
Possibly a pressure reducing valve installed after piping for first faucet, which would cause situation describing.
What would cause both toilets in your house to continue running after flushing. When I turn on any tap in the house it will stop.They both started doing this at the same time.?
water pressure in the house is too high. You will find an adjustable regulator somewhere between the meter and the house ,or in a basement situation, where the main line comes in. you can also try closing the valve, directly below the toilet tank, a turn or two this will decrease the pressure on that toilet only
What generally happens to atmospheric pressure on a windy day?
On a windy day atmospheric pressure decreases because the higher the wind velocity, the lower the air pressure, or atmospheric pressure. This is how chimneys work, the air that moves above the chimney causes low air pressure because of the high wind velocity compared the velocity of the air inside a house. The air inside the house goes towards the low air pressure and takes the smoke with it.
When you turn water on anywhere in house it makes sound for a few seconds it has just started?
Depending on the age of the house, the type of water valves, whether you have a pressure regulator, mineral deposits, type of water meter IF you have a water meter, and all kinds of other issues, it could be lots of stuff. Generally, a water valve can cause a loud, rapid pounding sound if it's going bad. If it's a rapid pounding sound, and it happens when you turn on ANY valve, I'd start with something that's common to all, such as a pressure regulator.
How does aqualungs work?
An aqualung is comprised of two parts - the tank, and then regulator.The tank simply contains highly compressed gas. The regulator reduces the pressure of that gas to a level which is breathable by the diver for a particular depth.In a normal Aluminium diving cylinder, the breathing gas (usually plain air) will be compressed to about 3,000 PSI (200 bar).The regulator has two stages, the first stage (the bit that gets attached to the tank), and the second stage (the bit that the diver puts in her mouth). The first stage will reduce the air pressure coming from the tank from 3,000 PSI down to about 300 PSI (20 bar). This air then flows down the hose to the second stage. The second stage then reduces the pressure from 300 PSI to the ambient pressure at the diver's depth (the deeper a diver goes, the greater the ambient pressure). Accordingly, no matter how deep a diver goes, the air will be delivered as pressure which enables her to breathe normally despite the water pressure on her body.The regulator works by way of a demand valve. When the diver inhales, that lowers the pressure in the second stage housing. This opens the demand valve, and higher pressure air flows in from system. Once the air pressure in the house is restored to equilibrium, the demand valve closes.If the regulator starts to malfunction, it can either deliver air at too low a pressure (so it will become hard to breathe) or too high a pressure (the regulator will "free flow" with bubble coming out).

House water pressure?
House water pressure should be around 50-60 psi.
