Is it normal for water softeners to make noise?

It is possible that a seal or connection in the pipe has broken over time, and it may need to be replaced. If the noise periodically happens at random times, your system may just be aerating and regenerating the water in the system. It is normal for water softeners to regenerate the system during low usage.
