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,

Take a length of galvanized or brass chain and extend it down the downspout.
The water will run along the chain instead of dripping.

Alternative -- and a decorative solution that will become a topic of
conversation -- Take the downspout off completely and add a decorative
chain instead, anchored with a weight or to a splash stone. Except when you
have a heavy downpour the water will cascade down the chain onto the splash
stone and away from the house. If your area is vulnerable to frequent heavy
thunderstorms that drop a lot of water quickly, this may result in some
splashing at the foundation.
