How do you stop a toilet from whistling when flushed?
It's something wrong with the pipes! One pipe is on too tight so it whistles when flushing. Here is THE answer!!! I did it to my own toilet. A plumber came over to fix our stuck toilet... The first thing he did was turn off the water supply valve at the back of the toilet. Then he unstuck our toilet. When he left, he turned the water supply valve back on, but he turned it up to high. the water pushes the air up through the pipe and the pressurized air comes out the top little slits on the stopper thingamagigie. To put in words you can understand, it's like blowing a flute. The Fast fix is to do this... Turn the water valve one way and then another. You will know when the water flows faster because the whistling will still be there. What you want to do is SLOWLY turn the water valve to the off position UNTIL the whistling stops and then a little more. You now have water coming in, but not at a speed to pressurize the air and make the whistling sound!
What causes a high pitched whistling sound to come from the water pipes near the water heater and and pressure valve when a tap is turned on?
Air causes the whistling noise. I'm currently on a quest to eliminate the problem in my house (just had new water heater installed about a month ago, sounds like a choir of banshees when the water's running, toilets are flushed, washing machine or dishwasher are running,, etc.) When I figure out how to get the air out, I'll post a follow-up. In the meantime, at least you know what it is!

What is the wrong when pipe make sound as you turn on the water?
Most likely your water pressure is too high, and the water flow is causing water hammer on your pipes at the turns. To alleviate this, you can lower your water pressure, or install shock arresters at the problematic areas. Or, it's possible that your pipes are rubbing against metal hangers, causing the noise. You can put tape on the pipe at the hangers. == Answer== If it were water hammer, I think it would make the sound when you turned the water off not on. I would go for a loose washer on faucet. If that is what you mean by turning on water.

How does all of a kettle of water boil when it is heated from the bottom?
Kettles have an element at the bottom, which is heated up by the electric current connnected to it. As the current flows through the plug and the connection, the element becomes extremely hot and disperses the heat throughout the water, at this stage you see tiny bubbles rising from the element. After a minute or so, the water reaches boiling point, starts to agitate, and the steam comes out of the spout of the kettle. If you have a whistling kettle, this is when the steam is forced through a small hole, causing the whistling sound the kettle makes when the steam goes through it. Now you are ready to make that cup of tea.

Why is your voice muffled in water?
Sound travels faster and more efficiently in water compared to air, causing the frequencies of sound waves to be altered and making voices sound muffled or distorted when heard underwater. Additionally, water is denser than air, which affects the transmission of sound waves and contributes to the muffled effect.
