There are a number of reasons why pipes might hum when they are turned on. A washer could be worn out and not working correctly. The fill valve on one of the toilets may not be working properly, or it could be your water pressure.

Why is copper used for water pipes?

Copper is used as hot water pipes because the copper will not corrode when the hot water goes through the pipes


At what temperature do pipes crack?

Water pipes should not of themselves crack at any temperature, however if pipes have water in them the water will freeze at temperatures below 0oC. If this happens then as the water freezes it will expand (ice is less dense than water) and as it expands it will either stretch metal pipes until they burst or crack ceramic pipes. For this reason external water pipes are buried at a depth to which the frost will not penetrate and internal water pipes are lagged to keep them warm.

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.
