What else can I help you with?
A plumber has put 18 gallons of antifreeze into my water pipes can the antifreeze interact with copper or lead pipes or pipes with lead soddering and cause contamination to the water?
I can't think you are talking drinking water pipes because anitfreeze is poisonous. Nor should you have lead pipes or lead solder in drinking water pipes. So either sleeve pipes or heating pipes then. Antifreeze has inhibitors designed to prevent corrosion.

Do typical copper plumbing pipes expand or contract enough to cause any kind of noise or vibration?
Typically-no. What causes the pipes to vibrate and hum is when the flow rate at a fixtures or hose bibb is just right, it hits the harmonic point on the pipe, causing it to vibrate. You can test this by throttling a valve slowly, until the vibration starts. Opening it further or closing it will stop the noise. This vibration could over time cause a loose joint, then a leak. === === === === === === === ===
