mike2016 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Basic question but how do you muffle the noise water makes when it drips down the gutters and hits the angled plastic PVC bottom? What could I adhere to it to stop this keeping me awake at night?! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike2016 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 That's up the other end, it's when the rain stops and the dregs in the gutters drop down the downpipe and it's when that hits the flange at the bottom of the pipe it makes the noise.....drip....drip....drip.....!

Dreadnaught Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Could you cut off an inch or two of gutter brush and stuff it up the downpipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2016 Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 That could work - I just need something soft for the water to hit that will stay in there..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragg987 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I left the end straight and open, did not bother with the funnel thingy. It is about 1or 2 inches above the plastic grill. Noise exists but is not intrusive. No splashing onto walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate leaves and open gullies so this is the solution I’ve used previously - it’s a standard closed gully top that has a basket within to catch the bigger rubbish as it drops down (also hedgehogs in the gutters) but there is a socket cut to size in the top plate and then the down pipe fits into this. It means the downpipe is supported at its base and there is no open gully 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
