Try to isolate where the noise is coming from by turning off supply to each appliance and device and then turning back on the one closest to your incoming water supply, then each subsequent one. Once isolated, try reducing water pressure to that device. Galvanized pipes can be another source of noise; copper is quieter.

Whistling noises in the plumbing just means you have air in the pipes. Find an outlet and run water until it bubbles out, this will eliminate the air.
