Our town has a lift pump 15' above our place. It is taking water from wells up to a reservoir. The water to our house comes from the pump house. When the pump is running there is a consistent 60 cycle hum that enters our house through our water service. It is extremely difficult for my wife at night - kind of like living with a low buzzer going constantly.
We can stop the noise entirely by shutting off the main shutoff in the house. The town paid our plumber to install a noise isolation segment between the service and the shutoff. The isolator (flexible segment with braided steel around it) may have reduced the volume of the noise that we hear when the valve is open but it certainly has not eliminated it.
Previous owner of our property complained to the town and they tried to figure out how to fix it. No luck for them or for us. Would love suggestions from anyone who has dealt with this kind of nuisance.
BTW, we followed the threads on TerryLove to select and install our Toto toilet. It could not have gone easier. Thanks a million.
