Pipe noise

Every now and then, we hear a ticking noise from the pipes, like a clock. When the water is being used, no noise. After the toilet stops or faucet turned off, about a minute later the ticking noise starts. We can hear it in the wall, powder room, and basement. Our laundry room is upstairs, we have 2 1/2 baths. Tonight it's getting ridiculous. It just started after doing 2 loads of wash.

I can hear the noise from the cold water pipe coming from the hot water heater and a little vibration. I can also hear it outside by the outside faucet. It sounds like the clanking of copper pipes. This is strange!! As the washer is filling with water, the noise stops and then starts up again.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
Rich
