It sounds as if you are describing "hammering" caused by air trapped in the supply lines. There is a "hammering" add on for your pipes that can be installed by a DIY person yet usually a plumber might be your best answer. Water travels through supply lines faster than you would suspect and the abrupt stopping (when a faucet is closed) can have the water continue, momentarily, causing the sound you mentioned, the device helps cushion the water/airflow.

It's called water hammer. It's caused when a valve is sudden opened or closed. It's usually happens with fixtures that draw large amounts of water like washing machines.
