Plumbing Predicament

[Skippy]

When I turn on my cold water and the faucet shakes like it is going to blow, what am I to do about it?

If I have low hot water flow only in the bathroom sink does that mean there is something wrong with the pipe?

Note my pipes are unfortunately galvanized.

Any help would be appreciated.

Not sure if this helps but I found this online:

Rattling Pipes? I find several reasons why pipes rattle. The most common is that the washer in the faucet or valve is loose. Another is that the pipe is touching another pipe or hard surface in the wall (OUCH!). And for hot water rattles, the energy saving nipples that screw in the top of the water heater, sometimes make a serious rattling noise when you turn on any hot water tap. They have a ball in them that acts like a check valve. Under a DWM it could be that the soft copper water supply is hitting a hard surface or the machine itself is not tight in the opening and is jumping around.

Sometimes taps will rattle if the line has a lot of air in it. Sometimes this can happen if the water has been turned off, pipes have been emptied and then the water has been turned on.... I we had a well where I grew up and this would happen sometimes, like when we hauled water, etc.
