Why does your well pressure tank make a whistle sound when the water is running?

There is an air fitting on the tank, where you can check the pressure on the one side of the diaphragm. Hold you hand over it and see if the air is leaking out here. If air is leaking out here, you need to get a tire valve tool and tighten the pin.
If the diaphragm was bad, the tank would completely fill with water and this should not cause that sound. There is a pressure switch, and the Plumbing lines, but if there where to whistle, you would see water leaking out.

Why does a tea kettle whistle?
As the water begins to boil steam forms inside the kettle, as more and more steam is produced the pressure starts to build, once the pressure is high enough the steam escapes through the whistle with sufficient force to blow the whistle and produce the sound.
What is the sound for river?
A sort of a rush, a whistle, a swissle i suppose ;)
How do steam trains work?
Steam trains relay on three major factors: coal( or anything that burns), fire and water.The coal, from the tender, keeps the fire burning or you could use a wood or a gas such as propane. The water gets heated by the fire like a pot of water on the stove. Them, the extra steam gets stored into a dome while the rest rushes down the boiler to the pistons. The pistons are what makes the wheels go round and round. There are two sets of pistons on each side and when the steam goes back and forth, you get a hissing sound. The left over steam is sent up the smoke stack. The throttle applies pressure to the steam which gives you the chuffing sound from the stack. From the stored steam in the dome, its used to make the whistle sound. The whistle is shaped to make a specific sound when applied pressure to, thus, the loud whistle sound. You tell this if you see steam comming out of the whistle. If you have anymore questions, go to my website. kimvrr.webs.com
How velocity of sound in relation with salinity and temperature and pressure?
Speed of sound in water is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Look at the link: "How fast does sound travel in water?"
Why water pipes shake when water is running?
They shake because, the water exerts pressure when running in the pipes
What is a sound water form?
thin body of water running between a mainland and island.
Why does the water pressure of the water vapor in the atmosphere affects the speed of sound waves?
because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed
Why hot air bursts the safety valve whereas hot moisture comes out through whistle?
upon heating a pressure cooker filled with water, the steam formed inside lifts the whistle and comes out till the pressure inside falls to limit. the same if heated without filled with water the hot air should come out through whistle as the volume increases upon heating. instead the hot air bursts the safety valve. why?
The speed of sound in what is greater than the speed of sound in water?
Speed of sound in water is faster than in air. Speed of sound in steel is c = 5930 m/s. That is faster than in air and in water. Speed of sound in water is c = 1480 m/s. It is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Speed of sound in air is c = 343 m/s at 20°C = 68°F. The speed of sound changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).
Can sound created in air travel through water?
Yes. When you're underwater in the pool, you can hear the lifeguard's whistle. The vibrations in air do set up vibrations in the water when they hit the surface.
What happens when a tea kettle whistles?
When a tea kettles water boils, steam exits the hole in the sound of a loud whistle.
Verbs that sound like falling water?
dribble / drip / splash / trickle / running?/
