The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Section 1417(a)(1) required that after June 19, 1986 only "lead free" pipe, solder or flux could be used in the installation or repair of any Plumbing in residential or non-residential facility providing water for human consumption, which is connected to a Public Water System.
To stop condensation on water pipes, you can insulate the pipes with foam pipe insulation. This helps regulate the temperature of the pipes and prevents moisture from forming on the surface. You can also reduce humidity in the area by using a dehumidifier or improving ventilation.
To stop noisy pipes when flushing the toilet, you can try adjusting the water pressure, insulating the pipes, or installing a water hammer arrestor.

To prevent or stop banging pipes in your home, you can try installing water hammer arrestors, securing loose pipes, adjusting water pressure, or insulating pipes to reduce noise and vibrations.
Water banging in pipes is often caused by air pockets or water hammer, which is the sudden stop of water flow in the pipes. This can be resolved by bleeding the air out of the pipes, securing loose pipes, or installing water hammer arrestors to absorb the shock of water flow.
Water pipes can make a squeaky noise due to high water pressure, loose pipes, or water hammer. This noise can be caused by the movement of the pipes or the sudden stop of water flow. It is important to address this issue to prevent potential damage to the pipes.

Install a water hammer arrestor (air chamber)
Water pipes may be covered with foam rubber to stop condensation dripping from the surface of cold water pipes in warm and damp climates, and to insulate hot water pipes so the water in them does not cool while flowing from the hot water tank to the faucet,
Strap and secure pipe to stop shake and noise. Drop in pressure is normal. Try using water on off peak times (if city water).
Pipes rattle when water is turned off due to a phenomenon called water hammer. This happens when the sudden stop of water flow creates a pressure surge that causes the pipes to vibrate and make noise.
