Close the main first, because a frozen line that has already split will release water the moment it thaws, and leave the taps it feeds open so pressure has somewhere to go. Warming the room helps and warming the wall cavity helps more, but the shutoff is the part that decides how much flooring survives.

That noise is air being pulled through a trap seal, which happens when the vent above is partly obstructed, and the vent above is often shared between the two halves. A trap that loses its seal also lets sewer gas into the room, which is the reason not to wait it out.

Both are common in older housing and they look alike at first, though groundwater usually arrives after rain and along the base of the wall while a plumbing leak keeps going in dry weather and stays near one run. In attached homes a wet patch on your side can also be fed from the other half, which is worth ruling out before anyone starts chasing the foundation.

Mineral content depends on where the supply is drawn from, and hard water leaves deposits that shorten heater life and slowly restrict aging supply lines. The water authority publishes what the supply tests at, which is a better starting point than any symptom in the house.

It is nearly always on the street-facing basement wall, close to the point of entry, and the meter sits right next to it. Finding it once while nothing is wrong is worth more than finding it during a leak, especially in a house where the neighboring valve is an arm's length away.
