Anything to quiet the pipes?

I figured this fell into other equipment so.....

Is there a wrap or type of sleeve that I can wrap my intake pipes, 1 in., to help muffle the sound of the water flowing through?


Something like you wrap hot water pipes to insulate.

Thank you.

You got the answer over there, but you can also provide some minor curves in the pipe to keep it from splashing.

Did you try something like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_24434-1410-P...ion&facetInfo= This is thermal insulation but it's cheap and I can't see it making the pipe's louder .

Spacey
