Recently there was a main water line break on my street. The water
company had turned off the water to my house and neighbors too.
After the line was repaired,I find that when I turn on some faucets,or
flush toilets,I get whistling for a short time.
Any reason? Everything was fine before the break.

could be an increased pressure/flow rate being louder than normal.
water should be kept to around 4 feet per second, the main being fixed could
now deliver higher pressure which could increase your flow rates.
