   Valve not open/ing or calicified shower head... High pressue thru a restrictive shower head

   But Boss seems to hit it right on the head...

   Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming

   WOW!!!   What a Ride!

   worn washer on the valve stem may be fluttering / resonating....

   u don't say if it's an older faucet set w shower diverter, or a newer anti-scald valve

   don't know about the anti-scalds, but older faucet sets will shriek, whistle, rumble w bad packing on end of faucet stem

   First off, determine if the sound seems to originate in the shower head or the control. If it's in the shower head, remove the head and soak it in full-strength vinegar overnight. If it's the control, and a single-handle unit, just replace the cartridge.

   Another possibility is that the valve in the tub spout is whistling. Simplest fix there, if a vinegar soak doesn't fix it, is to replace it.

   Ditto the vinegar soak.  Dismantle as much as you can and use an old toothbrush where needed.  Use a small wire to poke holes clean.
