Not a show stopper, since we aren't planning hi-def recordings, so it doesn't need to be solved. But I wanted to mention that in case anyone has some suggestions to minimize the noise.


If you can de-couple that water pipe from the framing in some way, at least for the framing for the walls/ceiling that room, that will help somewhat, but the groans and aches of a typical wood-frame house will likely be the largest issue you'll deal with after the absorption method is sorted out.
