Hi,
I have a toilet on an upper floor, sit in a hollow core floor. The soil pipe is ground entry into the toliet, so to speak, not coming from the wall. The noise of the water rushing through the soil pipe can be heard below in the living room. It is not to my taste, so at a certain point when I install some home theatre gear I want to sound proof this soil pipe. I am thinking of an option a) wrapping in an accoustic wrap like Tecsound FT55 Acoustic Duct Wrap, b) or replace the pipe with an acoustic model. I am handy at DIY but I am not an expert on plumbing. Given the difficulty in getting a plumber when I live, I want to do this job myself, which option would be best in your opinion? Is replacing the noisy bend which creates the noise tricky to do?
