: I recently qualifiied to have our home replumbed. I requested copper over CPVC, but now notice a bit more noise. Will this persist and did I make a right/wrong decision? Is there anything I can do to quiten the noise? You may want to check and see what size insulation was used during the installation. Although it is not abnormal for copper to be a little louder than CPVC, you may be able to quite the noise a bit by increasing the thickness of the insulation. Polybutylene.com
