Hi again Steven, in my case it ended up being the valve stem that needed to be replaced. I guess either the shower head, or the valve stem can restrict water flow and make that high pitched, irritating noise! Thanks again, Jose

squealing is done by a built up of calcium and you need to replace the shower head or sometimes you can dip it in CLR!

I have a similar, but differnt squeeking noise coming from my shower. When the water is turned off it squeels (very low volume). When I turn the water on then back off again the squeel goes away. in a few hours the noise comes back. Just turning the water on and then back off makes it go away. Help... I'm losing sleep.

I don't know, I had the same problem in my apartment. Shower head was annoying making that squealing noise every time we used it. I thought as many youtube videos say, must be the shower head. So I thought as well it could be that because every time we changed the setting , it would stop for a while. So, I went and bought a new shower head and NOTHING! still the same squealing problem. I'm fed up! do I have to call a plumber? see why is doing that? Brand new shower head and still does it. :(

I don't have this same shower head, but sometimes ours will squeal, and other times it won't squeal. However, for the past couple of weeks now, every time I turn on the shower, it might squeal for 10 - 15 seconds and then the squealing stops. I'm thinking it's the shower head.

I feel like this is a pretty common problem in older houses. I know you didn't figured out what the problem was, but I appreciate how quickly you found where it was located. A calcium buildup is probably the culprit, and a vinegar soak might make that old head usable again. However, you took the right approach in just replacing the shower head. Not worth your (or the homeowner's) time, trying to fix an old basic shower head. Kudos.

Steve, when you go to 1:16 where you remove the old shower head, a foreign object fell out. I've actually seen this before where a prior tradesman sabotaged the shower, perhaps over a dispute. He inserted a dime into the shower head. Something to think about but anyway you're on top of it as usual. Keep up the plumbing vids.
