My cold water pipes keep banging.

If you turn it on a little it bangs loudly. But if you turn it up further it stops. What could be causing this?

Go on line and look at "How To Bleed Water Pipes". I know it involves turning off your water at the main valve .

Another thing to check! If the faucet is an older that use washers, you may have a bad or loose washer. When the water is turned on low, the washer bounces and can cause the bang or vibration. When the water is turned on full, the water pressure pushes the washer against the seat and bang/vibration are gone.

The pipes may not have enough clips where they have been attached to the joists of the housed. They could also have air pockets in the pipes, combining both will make the cold water pipes bang.
