Water hammer can occur when the overall velocity of water through the pipes exceeds a certain threshold in feet per second. This is why it may be more acute when two faucets are running. However, it's also possible that your friend is correct and it is related to a bad washer or mixing valve. If you haven't done so already, purchase and read our online technote on water hammer. This offers several remedies to water hammer related problems that you'll find useful.
