Default Downspout Noise, how to get rid of?

Scott Townsend wrote:

Do I have a downspout that is near the bedroom that when it rains a little
you can hear it drip. Its like the funnel thing at the top is aligned just
right with the bottom and hits the angle piece or something. Its just this
constant thump thump thump...

What's a guy to do to get some sleep?

Thanks,
Scott-




Adjust the bottom of the downspout so it is a tad further from the house
- just 1/2" or 1" should
make it so the drip doesn't hit but slides down the pipe. Or try
sticking a piece of wire screen
into the bend - drips hit the screen instead of the pipe.
