A general plumbers question. Pulsating pipes?

You guys are crazy. LOL.
City water.
No I have not checked water pressure. Only one shower stall does this, not the others.

Since this problem is only on the third floor, I would suspect a water pressure issue.

My wife hates when my pipe pulsates.

That's not what she's saying to the gals over on BBodywives.com!

Haaaha I saw it populate that way when I posted it so I clicked on it too!
Kinda disappointed my made-up website doesn't exist.....

There are two bathrooms on the third floor and only one of the shower stalls have the issue. It might be that one valve.

"Pulsating" is "hammering".

This is now a semantics discussion?
A plumbing "hammering" discussion centers IMO on a single hydraulic event caused by the altering or stopping of the inertia of a moving fluid, which can cause, reflected shock waves thru the closed piping system that dimmish over a limited time ie hammering much like an echo.. "Pulsating" again IMO is repeating and does not decay over time and is likely induced by reoccurring single events in succession, like a water drip.
I see a distinction between the two terms.

Doesn't the pulsating start during the hammering ?

Evidently not for the OP, as his post indicates IMO there was no happy ending.

Now... that's what I call a problem !
