What’s That Noise? Troubleshooting Common Well Pump Sounds

22 Jun What’s That Noise? Troubleshooting Common Well Pump Sounds

Is your well pump making noises it didn’t used to?

Strange sounds could be warning signs of a bigger issue—and homeowners in Twin Falls, Jerome, and Filer should pay attention before it leads to pump failure.

Here are some common well pump noises and what they might mean:

• Humming or buzzing: Could be a bad motor or capacitor.

• Clicking: Often related to pressure switch issues or short cycling.

• Banging or thumping: May indicate water hammer or loose pipes.

• Screeching: Possibly a failing bearing or dry-running pump.

No matter the sound, if your well system doesn’t sound “normal,” it’s time for a professional inspection. Ignoring these noises can lead to total system failure, water loss, or costly emergency repairs—especially during the summer when usage is at its peak.
