banging pipes

Tags: Plumbing
I have loud banging in pipes across the condo when the kitchen faucet and one bathroom faucet is turned on. My question is, are the faucets worn out -- they do not leak, is there air in the pipes or maybe the water is too hot. Would appreciate input as to possible solution.

How about poor installation where the piping was not secured properly or an air chamber is called for.

Long unsupported runs/ quick closing valves/no provisions for expansion and contraction?
