: I have a strange thumping noise emitting from the house when the neighbor runs their washing machine or flushing the toilet. Here�s the weird part. Their house is at least 200 feet away. : We're connected at the meter with one leg going to my house and the other to theirs. The meter's probably 350 feet each way. I have added additional straps to my water pipes everywher hoping to eliminate any vibration that could be bouncing off my floor joists. Do you have any idea's. : Ron Reply: Contact the water supplier if you didn't already and ask them to test your water pressure, you may need a pressure regulating valve on the water main, if you have one, it may be defective. Good Luck. e-plumber
