The following section references The Sound Transmission Inside Building Publication NOISE FROM WASTEWATER
by The British Plastic Federation. Soil and waste systems inside buildings have the potential to contribute to noises inside a property and to an adjoining property.
• Airborne noise – generated by wastewater flowing inside the pipes.

Noise from wastewater flow when it travels through a building can be an annoyance. This is unpleasant
in all homes but particularly intrusive in multi-occupancy residential and commercial properties. • Structure-borne noise – generated by vibration (acoustic resonance) of the pipe as the sound waves generated by the
wastewater transmitted through the pipe wall, pipe clips and brackets to the building structure.
