in buffalo ny: our 3 year old anti-frost outdoor hose cock is quiet but
slows the water flow. our city water is 42psi. 20 year old ones also
quiet.
perhaps you have a higher water pressure, loose washer, or other part.
perhaps the piping and valves vary from your house to hers, maybe check
with the next door neighbor if similar age and type of plumbing.
however if this is a well system or a high pressure city supply system
there are additional system items to check.
go near the water arrival point to the home and try the basement
washtub faucets for similar noise. have your helper try the outside
hose and see if there is hopefully just simply pipe vibration noise
against a hanger bracket.
