Yes, you should definitely worry about persistent banging pipes. While minor knocking may seem harmless at first, it is a physical manifestation of violent hydraulic shock (water hammer) or thermal expansion rubbing against framing. Left uncorrected, these repetitive shock waves will constantly fatigue pipe walls, loosen soldered joints, weaken fittings, and eventually cause premature leaks or catastrophic joint separations behind finished walls and ceilings. Verification: Install water hammer arrestors and secure loose pipe straps to protect your plumbing infrastructure.
