Knocking sound in cold water supply

Hi,

Our cold water system has started knocking when taps etc are turned on and off. There is a noise like the pipe is being hit with a rubber hammer, but it is difficult to locate exactly where the noise comes from.

Any ideas of the cause and suggested solutions please?
