What causes the water pipes in my house to make a noise? Will the pipes explode?

Town of Caledon
If a rattling or banging noise is heard from water pipes, it may be a 'water hammer' or 'hammer'. This is caused when you suddenly turn off a water flow (i.e. a dishwasher, a clothes washer, a toilet, or a hand faucet). This sudden shutting off of the flow sends a pressure or shock wave down the water line causing the pipes to rattle or bang. Over time this repeated shock wave can damage pipes and weaken pipe joints.
