: I own a ranch on a basement. There is no insulation in the basement floor joists. My problem is that the water flow throughout the house is LOUD. No matter where I am in the house, I can tell you if someone turns on any water anywhere. When anyone takes a shower or flushes a toilet, it sounds like niagara falls. Should I wrap the plumbing pipes in the basement, put a soundproof barrier between the pipes and the subfloor, change from copper to pvc, reduce the pressure (now at about 40).....what?
I'd try different insulation solutions. 40 PSI is already 10 lbs too low... Hill
