Update in the event that anyone does see this post:
I put hammer arrestors on hot and cold, things quieted down for a few loads then slowly started getting louder until here we are exactly were I was when I posted this.
Asked the water company what our pressure should be, they said for residential should be 50 to 70 psi. I would imagine that isn't too much for a washing machine.

I replaced both inlet valves Sept 2021 with valves I bought from Appliance Parts Pros, the cold water was leaking badly. When I replaced cold, I did hot valve too. Both parts were genuine LG parts.
They've always made some stuttering sound, especially at the beginning of a wash cycle, even when the machine was brand new (very faint sound when new).
Today during a warm wash I heard it, but louder. It is almost a thudding sound when the solenoid is opening and closing, especially during the initial fill. Not sure if it was cold or hot inlet.
I read something online about water pressure possibly causing this problem, while I'm not sure about that, we don't have particularly high water pressure here, I will run a bleach only clean cycle and adjust the valves down a bit to see if it helps.
Does this issue sound like the vavle(s) need to be replaced again?
I do not want a repeat of the leak that happened last year, that was an unpleasant experience to say the least.
Thanks for any input.
