Hey! I live in an old Berlin apartment building with very noisy pipes, especially these two external metal hot water pipes. I was wondering what I should use to muffle the noise? Can i put the car sound deadening material on these metal pipes? Or should I use something else? Sound is driving me a bit crazy...😅

[@dvgkvlyn2256]

How about solutions to fix the problem causing the noise? Like clearing air in the pipes or making sure washers on the valves are good?

[@soundproofguide]

Great advice!

I had a water hammer at my old house. It was miserable.. sounded somewhat similar to a generator...the vibrations. We had to call someone and they traced it to a water regulator for one of the evaporator cooler

Interesting! Thanks for sharing!

I did too. I installed those water hammer arrestors and they helped, but not totally. I heard it the worst with Samsung washing machine because their valves are solenoid controlled to shut on and off instantly, rather than somewhat gradually like others. Puts a lot of shock in the lines.

green glue between drywall layers will help minimally mitigate as well

[@soundproofguide]

Very very minimally.

I don't mind the sound but I am more paranoid about the pipes bursting eventually. Can that happen? I live in a condominium and when I turn off water, I can hear a loud sound where the HVAC is

A drain pipe isn't going to burst, it's not under pressure. The water line can burst though.

What about a sound by the tub that sounds like a trombone, going down then up, & then the water just cuts off???

I have banging noise when I using the shower head, and sometimes when there’s no noise if someone open one of the faucet banging noise come on right away

[@soundproofguide]

It’s called “water hammer”! It’s air bubbles in the pipes and when the water hits it, it makes a banging noise that you’re hearing. An easy way to fix this would be to turn on all of the faucets starting with the highest point like a bathroom faucet, and then working your way down to the lowest faucetAnd then turn off all the faucets letting the water drain. That should clear it up if it’s not a water pressure issue where you would have to lower the water pressure on your gauge.

What if the pipes burst.

[@doubleoddbs4357]

BS, I’ve tried all of this except the car insulation but I’m sure it won’t work that’s what I believe, it’s expensive to do whatever you do
