puntloos Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Bathrooms above the livingroom.Sad, but I think unavoidable. How "inaudible" can we ma ke a toilet flush from above? We're intending to sound-insulate the livingroom reasonably well,. As for the downpipe: The obvious would probably be in the corner, of Kitchen/Living/Gardenroom but would there be any benefit in trying to e.g. get to the utility?

Nickfromwales Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Vertical drops are near inaudible, but changes in direction do cause noise. You can mitigate against the high frequency sound by wrapping the nuisance parts in sound deadening mat ( dynamat ), the bituminous stuff you see in car panels and under the kitchen sink. eg. That and as much acoustic rockwool batt as you can stuff in there. I wouldn't try for the utility as that's a long way with not much of a fall, especially if it's Pozi-joists? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
