does it cause the pipes to bang?

I have mine set to come on once a day, for 15 minutes. The only noise it makes is when it first comes on when the valve opens to let water through. There is no other noise except the sound of running water. At he end of the cycle, it shuts off with a minor noise indicating the valve closing.

Yes, I use to have a pretty loud hammering noise when my pump shut off, but now it is silent. I cannot recommend this enough if you are sick of hearing the water hammer sound.

Not if there is a crossover between the pipes. It needs an exhaust that can build pressure.

We can hear it in the kitchen with the den door closed..it's sort of a light pop, pop, pop sound...it would depend on how you hit it if it would be a problem

Naah, I don't think that it would. Mainly bangs and large vibrations.Good luck!

the sizzle you hear might just be static but if its loud enough that its distracting its probably a defective unit. a little static is normal with these things. just a little tho..

I would assume, from my experience with this, if you wrapped it around the pipe 4 or 5 times it would very likely reduce the sound.

Probably not. Sounds like you have something not venting / vented properly.

No. And mine popped while blowing it up. I would NEVER recommend this product.

Yes, but this devise is very very very loud. My mother like to have had a Heart attack when it sounded.

hey Gregory swinney if your motorized vehicle is loud in its original state then maybe it will add a bit more but if it isn't it will give it a nice sound to it. but your question is if it fits? your gonna have to make a small adjustment to it. I mean by the pipe

I've found that it only makes this sound when the water vapor is being released. You'll notice if you select an intermittent setting, it only makes the trickling sound when the vapor comes out.

All this does is pump a little water back into the pipe when needed. the pressure of the water going into the pipe is only slightly higher than the normal pipe pressure. Don't see how this could damage anything. I have had one for a little over a year and am happy with the results. The only recommendation I would have is to shock mount the little motor so it does not resonate on the wood or whatever it is mounted to in order to make it as quiet a possible. For the very short intervals that it is pumping, you may hear the pump but it is much quieter than the waste water was while it was going down my drain.

It did this when I had a speaker near it and it caused vibration. Once I moved the speaker away and had it where no vibrations hit it, it worked fine.

only with static, these pipes really build it up, they might become little poof balls, or they could even shock themselves

Definitely! It's louder than glass packs but doesn't have that popping sound, it will give it a deep and throaty growl sound and still some noise but will tone it down from the volume of straight pipes.
