What's this?

Probably air. If it doesn't go away by running a lot of water, I would

drain the pipes.

Shut off the water to your home at the main.
Open the highest faucet in your home.
Open the lowest faucet (it's usually outside or in the basement) and let all the water drain out. ...
Turn the lowest faucet off (the one you opened in step #3) and turn the water main back on.

Clear all air from the highest most faucet.
