See full version: Removing Air From Water Pipes
There is a very simple way to solve the problem. Check that the main water supply in your house has been turned on and then turn on every faucet in your house. Flush the toilets, place a cup on the water dispenser of your refrigerator, or on any other plumbing fixture in your house which has a water connection. more
Turn on all the hot and cold water taps. Don’t forget the shower baths, the washing machine and the dishwasher in the kitchen. The water will flow out for a very short while. Within a minute, the noises in the faucets will cease and water will begin to flow naturally. Go up to the uppermost floor and begin to turn off the water connections that you had turned on. In this way, work your way down to the water faucet of the lower-most floor.
How can you tell if water pipes in your house are air-blocked? When you turn on the water in a faucet, the flow of water may be hampered, which is a sign that there is air in the water pipe. The water may come out in spurts, it may make all sorts of noises, and takes some time to flow out.
The procedure is simple, but you need to be patient and turn on all the faucets and then systematically turn everything off once the noise stops. If you have any questions or concerns about the procedure, it is always a good idea to consult professional plumbers. [links]
A less obvious cause of air discharge at fixtures may correlat with resin loss from the water softener - that's a problem in the softener itself, discussed in detail here

Please take a look through those and then see if you can find a plumber I will admit that you have a problem and then do something about it

Typically, my first use of water after a regeneration is with a toilet flush in the morning. There is always a noticeable release of air in the water line as the toilet tank refills. What caused this? more
But as well water level drops and the well is slow in recovering, the air discharge problem will return. In sum, these well or well and pump conditions can cause air to be delivered by the well pump into the building's water supply piping:
If you have such a well you should contact your local department of environmental services and your building department. more
Air can leak into well piping anywhere between the top of water column in the well at the end of a pump cycle (that's somewhere below the top of the static head of the water column), and the water pressure tank: that includes both vertical and horizontal sections of well piping.
The snifter valve (or any other air volume control device on a water pressure tank) can fail in either of two modes: more
There are a couple telltale signs that you have air in the hot water lines. In the event you are old enough to remember (or have an older house with) steam registers, you will be quite familiar with the famous pinging noise caused by air in the pipes. here
If water coming out of a tap appears cloudy or milky, it may be another issue but one that’s usually completely safe.
This can be noisy and interrupt your daily tasks. Thankfully, it is a problem that is not only easily identified, but easily solved. more
While these systems function differently, the causes are the same. Most commonly, air will become trapped when the water supply is cut off for maintenance. Simply running your taps for a while can solve this issue.
