I'm in the process of a second story addition. The pipes (copper-L ¾") and CPVC (3")will be running over (and down a wall) in the living room w/ 2 X 10 joists/ceiling. The master bath is above. Cast iron is not an option since plumbing is already done

Any ideas to make the pipes very quiet- besides insulation.

Rubber undercoating on the PVC? "DynaMat" sound deadening material?
Polyethylene pipe insulation?

Ideas?

Thanks in advance-

Richard

humid summers hot, humid winters cold
supply lines in the wall are usually quiet whether copper or not. They make noise near the shower or tub, where the pressure drops a lot when full flow.

waste lines - add continuous layers, of density. 5/8" fire rated drywall in ceiling. And wall. Lots of solid and contnuous insulation around pipe.
