Have you ever heard a strange ticking sound coming from your sprinkler system? You’re not alone! For years now, people have been debating the noise level of sprinklers.
Are they loud or are they quiet? Do they make noise at all? Let’s take a deeper look into this topic and uncover the truth about sprinkler noises.
Modern Sprinklers: Quieter than Ever Before
Modern sprinklers have been purposely designed to be as low-noise as possible, emitting up to 95% less noise than their predecessors. This is due to several advancements in engineering and design, such as high-pressure valves that reduce water leakage and noise.
Additionally, the motors used in these sprinklers are quieter than they used to be. These innovations in engineering have made these machines more efficient and less noisy.
The Debate Rages On
The debate on whether or not sprinklers make noise has been going on for years. While some people claim that they don’t really hear anything, others have experienced an intermittent ticking sound over time.
It’s important to note that although the actual level of decibels is fairly low—around 40dB—sprinklers produce much less sound than a human whisper (30dB) or normal conversation (60dB). As such, it’s understandable why people may find them quiet or even silent at times.
Conclusion:
Sprinklers don’t have to be loud; most modern models are designed with efficiency and low noise in mind.
Although there is still debate surrounding the exact sound levels of a typical sprinkler system, one thing remains true: most people agree that these systems produce far less sound than everyday conversations or whispers do.
In short, if you’re looking for something quieter than an average conversation, then investing in a quality sprinkler system might just do the trick!
