I need a plumbers knowledge

Today I came home from shopping and as I pulled in the garage I heard a loud thump-thump-thump coming from outside. I thought an otherwise conservative neighbor had his stereo turned up. I get in the house and went to wash my hands and the water came out pulsating to the same tempo as the thumping. I went outside my garage to where the city water enters my house and that is where the thumping was coming from. Pertinent information: at the time my wife had the clothes washer running. Also a little over a week ago we had the hot water heater replaced.

Can any one tell me what's going on?

edit. My wife just flushed a toilet and when turning on the faucet to wash her hands there was hardly any water pressure.

if its not, call a pro. good luck.
I called the water department and to my surprise they sent a guy out to check our neighborhood. He stopped at our house and checked out our system.

For any of you that might have a similar problem with your plumbing, replace the pressure release valve coming into your house. That was the culprit.
