Abstract
Plumbing noise measurements on valves used for domestic lavatories, showers, tubs, and toilets have been measured utilizing the approach outlined in ISO Standard 3822. This technique evaluates the flow induced structural vibration transmitted into the piping system. The results clearly indicate that the principal source of noise is turbulence within the valve mechanism and not due to excessive velocities in the piping. Comparisons will be provided between American and European products. Several standard methods of isolating pipe wall vibration from building components are also evaluated.
