hissing
The Madagascar hissing cockroach (Gromphadorhina portentosa), also known as the hissing cockroach or simply hisser, is one of the largest species of cockroach, reaching 5 to 7.5 centimetres (2 to 3 inches) at maturity. They are native to the island of Madagascar, which is off the African mainland, where they are commonly found in rotting logs. It is one of some 20 known species of large hissing roaches from Madagascar, many of which are kept as pets, and often confused with one another by pet dealers; in particular, G. portentosa is commonly confused with G. oblongonota and G. picea.Unlike most cockroaches, they are wingless. They are excellent climbers and can scale smooth glass. Males can be distinguished from females by their thicker, hairier antennae and the very pronounced "horns" on the pronotum. Females carry the ootheca internally, and release the young nymphs only after her offspring have emerged within her. As in some other wood-inhabiting roaches, the parents and offspring will commonly remain in close physical contact for extended periods of time. In captivity, these insects have been known to live up to 5 years. They feed primarily on vegetable material.

Hi,
I've just had a thermostatic concealed bath/shower valve installed in my bathroom. When I turn off the tap that controls the water to the bath, I can hear a slight hissing noise from the tap, just during the final part of turning the tap off.
I've tried adjusting the pressure by...

Hello!
Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a problem I have?
I live in a basement flat of an old terraced house and the plumbing is quite noisy, it's not a banging of any sort, it's just a very loud hissing. Whenever the lady upstairs turns on her tap I can hear water flowing...
