So after more investigation, I am fairly certain I have freed the 90 degree bend at the the top plate. But, checking the vertical potion of the pipe I can clearly feel several feet of it are pushing up against the drywall. So my current theory is the vertical pipe is slightly pushing against...

I definitely hear water flow/gush after a toilet flush or bathtub drain. But I figure that was to be expected, my main concern was the annoying ticking noise that persists after a hot bath/shower. I ordered some 2" Owens Corning 703, which I was going to use to build acoustic panels eventually...

It sounds like dripping, but as far as I can tell there is no visible leak. And the noise is happening at a 90 degree before going down from 2nd story to slab. My current though is the noise is actually creeking at the joint. I can sometime reproduce the noise by just trying to twist/bend near...

Will triple check today, location of noise by feel and that it really isn't touching anything while ticking is happening. I can even borrow my wife's stethoscope and see if that helps, though I don't know how to use it...

It was fairly loud for me and I wanted to make sure there wasn't a leak. I was able to access the pipe in a pantry so drywall repair isn't a big deal. But if I had to cut into visible drywall I would have been more hesitant. Whenever I repair drywall I can never get the texture to match, lol.

Definitely a hot shower/bath. I don't think a toilet flush is enough to trigger the "ticking".

I can confirm it isn't rubbing because I can slide a piece of sand paper all the way around the pipe without snags, even when the pipe is warmed up from a hot bath/shower. I was totally convinced rubbing was the cause, but after completely freeing the area with the noise, I think it is just...

Not gonna repipe my house anytime soon, lol. I'll keep that in mind if I ever have a house built though. Thanks, will probably buy the putty too.

Hello, So I have a "dripping" noise coming from an ABS drain pipe that goes from a 2nd story bathroom, horizontal maybe 10-20 feet, then vertical to the concrete slab. I cut open the wall in my pantry where the noise was loudest and found everything dry and realized the noise is actually coming...
