[quote=Anonymous]My neighbors built a second story onto their detached garage, and that is close to our bedroom patio (fortunately, facing away from us). So, on the backside, which faces us, they have a copper drainpipe and when it rains, the water makes a loud, tinny plunking sound. I want to talk to the neighbor about it, but I'd like to be able to suggest a fix rather than just complain about the problem. But I can't access the pipe to take a look at it. I figure it's one of two things: 1) The water just falls freeflow and then hits the bottom of the drain and either that makes the noise or it splashes and hits the copper sides and that makes the noise, or, 2) the pipe is bowed some so the water hits the side of the pipe as it goes down. So assuming it's the first scenario, I think putting *something* at the base of the drain would fix the problem. But what? A sponge? Wouldn't that get all moldy? Thank you![/quote]
