We had our soffits, fascias and guttering done last year, but since then I get an annoying noise from one of the downpipes.
It's right on the wall next to my bed so is only about 2 foot away from my ear with only a wall between (and window next to it).
Whilst it's raining heavy enough there is no noise but if it's just drizzling or for a while after the rain stops it starts to drip making a large noise.
It is a downpipe that comes off the roof and goes straight down for a few inches then slopes back under the soffit, then down 2 storeys with no bends etc then an outlet at the bottom which is sloped, as the water hits the slope at the bottom you get the noise which seems to be amplified by the pipe.
It's loud enough to wake me up, then you get that constant dripping noise which drives you mad!
I did cut a piece of sponge to fit in the bottom which did the trick for a while but it keeps getting washed out during the rain, then I have to go out in the rain to put it back in
Are there any real non bodge solutions for this? None of the others ones seem to do it - is it an angle thing?
