This from the link I posted earlier.

Improperly sized supply lines for given peak water flow velocity;
Excessive system water pressure and lack of pressure-reducing apparatus;
Inadequate strapping or securing of plumbing to structure;
Excessively long straight runs with no bends;
Lack of expansion tank or other dampening system, such as water hammer arresters;
