the pulsating noise may be the water meter operating. The noise can be caused by the sprinkler system having too many heads running at one time, creating a high flow rate. : I have a new house that a sprinkler system was installed in. : When the sprinklers run there is a pulsating noise. The sprinkler installer : has disapeared and I am trying to find the cause. I think it has to do with pipe sizes. : It goes from 3/4 inch to 1 inch copper (Small size to large) fron the source. (Copper) : Could this reverse sizing situation cause a noise ? If so is there a baffle or something : that could be installed rather than re-piping the system ? : Thanks
