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?
