A tinny scratching sound could be a bird s feet in your gutters but this points to a different problem.
Gurgling sound gutters.
Water heaters often make popping or gurgling sounds over a number of year s sediment scale mineral and lime deposits gather on the bottom area of the water heater tank.
When the rain is just right this downspout will often make an extremely loud pinging sound when water is coming down slowly think someone hitting a coffee can with a spoon ever 2 seconds.
Birds hang out in gutters when water pools.
It is not dangerous but may be annoying at times.
And if water is pooling in your gutters it.
But there are ways you can quiet a noisy downspout.
The gurgling sound when you open a sink drain or flush a toilet a head of water enters the waste pipe.
If you have metal downspouts and they drive you crazy when it rains you might think that there is nothing you can do about it.
When these deposits heat up steam builds up in them and then the popping sound occurs.
That is until your guttersand downspouts join in.
Since it fills the pipe the water pushes air in front of it and creates a vacuum behind.
Few things feel more relaxing than falling asleep to the sound of a gentle rain.
By mhcgutters the sound of trickling or gurgling water can be soothing but water clattering through a downpipe like a handful of marbles just let loose can be annoying.
For some reason this rhythmic sound seems to wake me up and then drive me mad.
