Jay gave you some good advice. I would also suggest tightening the large screws holding your valve stoppers/ arm to the top valve stem. These screws can cause some noise when they are loose. Also you might take off the stopper/arm, place a small square of teflon paper over the valve stem and replace the stopper. This will fill in any space between the two parts and reduced the noise in my valves dramatically. My repairman suggested these adjustments and I am comfortable disassembling my valves and linkages.
