Water – Pulsating (cold) tap water

waterwater-pressure

When not running any warm water, and having my tap about half open, the cold water pulsates a bit. The stream moves forwards and backwards about half a centimeter. I'm assuming the pressure fluctuates.

When showering (thermostatic tap) I also hear that the water pressure fluctuates.

What could cause this, and how do I fix it?
