Hello,
I'm fairly new to plumbing but I am trying to identify the problem and maybe get an idea of how large this project will be. I have a 3 knob shower/bathtub system similar to the image below:

When I turn the hot water knob too much, I hear a loud groaning noise in the pipes. This noise reduces as I close the hot water. The shower head was recently replaced so I don't think there is an issue there. There are no issues with the hot water/cold water/water pressure anywhere else in the house. This noise only happens to the shower/bathtub fixture.
