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

Thanks,

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.


You could remove the final elbow on the end of the downspout and slide
a few feet of corrugated plastic pipe over the end of the downspout.
That solves the noise and also takes the water farther away from the
house, which is a good thing.

Alternatively, you could glue a small strip of some soft material,
like a piece of shingle or maybe a thin scrub type sponge material,
inside the elbow where the water strikes.
