When I moved into my house I had a saddle valve which fed into my humidifier. I cut out the pipe around the saddle valve and added a tee so I could add a multi turn angle stop instead. The problem is that it's so loud when my humidifier kicks on, you can hear the water rushing through the valve, which in turn carries throughout all my air vents in my house. I figured maybe it was just a bad valve, so I swapped to a 1/4" turn instead. It improved a little, but not by much.
Any ideas on what the best solution would be? Are all valves with 1/4" outlets that loud? Should I go to an all brass valve?
