When I turn on my water, especially if i turn on both hot and cold, my pipes squeal. What causes that, generally?

Its my professional opinion that squealing is generally caused by horny college aged blonde girls.
^ That's funny
Could be a pressure reducing valve at the main water service.
Could be a worn washer inside the faucet.
Does it happen at a particular faucet or all of them?
If you have the old style ballcocks in you toilets, they can vibrate at the right frequency to send a loud humming noise through out the plumbing system.
You can verify this by touching the float. When the squealing is heard touch the float. If it's vibrating the noise will stop the moment you you touch it.

But then again touching the "horny college aged blonde girls" would tend to make them start squealing.
