I have just started noticing a sucking/spitting sound when I first cut on the faucet in the back bathroom. I haven't noticed it before in 15 years.
Is this a sign of possibly something being wrong elsewhere in the plumbing under the house?

That normally means there was some air in the line.
If that is the highest elevation then air will go there.
If the CPW had a main break somewhere or had to open the system up at all, you could have gotten an air pocket in your system.
Was the water milky looking? Did the noise stop?
I am a nobody, that met somebody, that can save anybody.
Not milky now, but it did have some color a few weeks back when I first noticed it. The noise stops in a second or two, but the next time I cut it on, it does it again.
Cold water side or hot water side or both?

Sucking air from somewhere I would think

Are you on a well, or public water? If you are on a well, it could be your pressure tank. I know that any time we have air in our faucets (commercial), I have to check our pressurized water tank to make sure that the compressor is working and that the percentage of water and air in the tank is correct. Assuming you have a pre-pressurized tank, the bladder may be failing. Just a thought, I am not a plumber.

Nope, I'm on the city water system.

Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
got air in the system from somewhere
Hot on the left, cold on the right, and shit runs down hill.
Now you know what a plumber knows.
