Ive heard that copper pipe is noisy…why is that?
→ A: The sound of water running through copper pipe is different than old galvanized metal pipe for a couple of reasons: the wall of copper pipe, while being very strong, is thinner than galvanized metal, allowing slightly more transfer of sound. Also, copper “sings” or “rings”, while galvanized produces a lower-key, dull sound. You may certainly notice the difference, but should adjust to it within a few days as you do to any other common sound in your house.
