[LG Front load washing machine noise] A sound is heard from the water pipes during water supply. (Pounding/banging noise)

Troubleshooting

Water hammer is a phenomenon in which banging noises occur in the water pipes in the house.
The noises occur as water with high pressure is blocked while flowing through the pipes.
This noise is not from the washing machine. Instead, it is a noise occurring in your water pipes, not a product defect.

When the valve is closed, the high pressure water hits and makes a thud

Try this

If the water pressure is too high within the household environment, the noise can be reduced by lessening the water pressure by adjusting the water meter valve or the faucet connected to the water supply hose.

Reduce sound by adjusting tap water pressure
