Living high up in Cornwall it has been known for the wind to "blow a bit" from time to time!
The soil vent pipe exits on the roof close to our bedroom and sometimes howls like a banshee at night
Is there any way you can fit some sort of baffle or filter to these vents please? Any proprietary products? Or just stuff it with chicken wire and foam or similar?
Any advice/experience would be gratefully received
 
Assuming it's a plastic vent pipe, you could just pop a 90° bend on it and point this in the opposite direction to the prevailing wind. Otherwise you might consider a different design of terminal to what you've already got (if any). There's one like a conical cage and another like an inverted bowl.
