Pipe soundproofing

5 years ago

There's a pipe that runs between the floor and ceiling in the corner of my apartment bedroom that makes periodic hammering noises related to building heating that plumbers I've used claim they can't fix. As at least a temporary workaround I'm considering using soundproofing to dampen the noise. Any recommendations on specific products or product categories, especially if they've worked for you? I've already looked at soundproofing wrap etc and may benefit from further research and advice. Thank you.

I doubt that there is anything you can do to seriously dampen that kind of sound, let alone silence it. The scale of work involved in resolving this is not something you can accomplish in an apartment.

Used fiberglass insulation as didn't find wide-enough foam insulation at the usual stores near me; seems to do enough.

Connor- Happy to know that worked. I’m surprised, but glad my comment didn’t stop you from trying. Is the sound muffled or is it pretty much gone?

It's just muffled but enough so it's not too loud.
