In a home with a basement it is usually on the wall facing the street, right where the service line comes through, often within a few feet of the meter. Crawlspace homes sometimes have it under the floor near the front. Find it before you need it, and make sure the handle actually turns.

If there is a meter and a curb stop out front you are on the utility. Homes farther from the built up parts near Phelps and Manchester are more often on private wells with a pressure tank in the basement or a utility room. The two need different work, so it matters before anyone quotes a job.

That's water hammer, and high static pressure makes it far worse than it would otherwise be. The moving water has to stop suddenly and the shock travels back through the supply lines. Lowering pressure to a normal setting and adding arrestors at the appliance usually settles it.

A gauge on an outside spigot gives the answer in a minute, and pressure well above the normal residential range points at a regulator that has drifted. Banging pipes when a washer shuts off, toilets that refill on their own, and a relief valve dripping at the water heater all point the same direction. A plumber covering Phelps and Shortsville can read it and set it back.
