Foghorn noise when turning on the shower.

I have a foghorn type noise whenever I turn my shower on. It sometimes lasts for a few seconds, sometimes a few minutes and then it stops. It goes away if I run a tap or flush the toilet. It doesn’t happen when any other hot tap it ran, just the shower. The shower has two heads and started after I used the smaller head for the first time so thought initially that it was air in the pipes. I get more of a squeak when I use the smaller head than a foghorn. Any idea what it could be and how to fix it? Thanks in advance

Water hammering? We had a toilet that sounded like it was going going to shake pipes out of the wall but it was a dodgy washer on the inlet. That would be my untrained guess...someone will know better!0

Have you got an unvented system? Sounds like an incorrectly inflated expansion vessel to me. Not sure why that would happen only on one outlet though.0
