How do I stop a rainwater downpipe making a flute-like noise in strong wind?
Our answer
Wind whistles across an open pipe end; fit a manufacturer-approved wind-resistant terminal or have a roofer adjust the outlet without blocking drainage.
Why this approach makes sense
Materials, cleaning instructions and equipment design vary. Pick a reversible approach that fits the exact surface or appliance.
Before you try it
Check the model instructions and test on a small area before committing to a permanent change.
