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.
