Starting this morning, several times during the day today either my wife or I heard a squealing noise in the house.
It seems to be coming from the corner of the house where the well pressure tank is located, but only lasts a few seconds, not long enough to get to that corner of the house, get a good listen, and try to diagnose.
Seems to me I heard approximately the same sound years ago in a farm house we now rent out, but other than being related to the pressure tank I can't recall what the problem actually was.
The two obvious possibilities are low air pressure in the tank, or simply a failing tank. Plumbing in the house still works like it should. The house, including the pressure tank, are coming up 12 years old this spring.
Due to a high water table, we don't have a basement under the house, just a 4' deep crawl space. Standard poured concrete walls, but they only go down 4' with a gravel floor. That's where the pressure tank is located, and I haven't crawled down there yet to check the air pressure guage on the tank, assuming it has one.
Only other possibility is a water softener in the laundry room on the main floor of the house, also in that corner.
