I think I'm going to try the pipes first, then the door, and finally
the ceiling, in order of difficuly to acheive. Its hard to tell where
the noise path is - some of it may be straight through the ceiling,
but the pipes are certainly the worst culprit.
I may be able to put an airtight seal around the door -I've seen a few
products online that are very simple
and easy to fit. The door itself is very flimsy - a 2x2 frame with
hardboard front and back. It would probably be a good idea to fill it
with mineral wool or replace the door, I'm thinking. I could also
stiuck some foam to the inside walls to stop the cupboard acting as a
sounding box. As for the pipe itself I'm still not sure what to wrap
it in - I guess mineral wool in the shape of pipe lagging would be the
best, but I can't find it :-)

Baffles for the airpath is the next best bet. Making the noise zigzag
back and forth a couple of times makes a remarkable difference.
You cant really do that much with a door, but you can make it go round
a corner at least twice, which helps.
