This thing is AWESOME! The results are perfect! It’s a little difficult to install, but no surprise there. It fits exactly perfect which makes it a little difficult to install. Overall 10/10 would recommend!

Do you have tall vertical gutter downspouts with a metal curved outflow at the bottom? If so, you're probably familiar with the annoying "ping, ping, ping" that happens in a light rain or at the end of the rainstorm, when individual water droplets fall 10 feet or more to land on the sheet metal curve at the bottom of the downspout, the high-pitched noise echoing through the entire length of the pipe.These silencers are as simple as can be: a rectangle of industrial outdoor carpet riveted to a piece of sheet metal with a folded hook at one end. You could make them yourself with scraps if you had the right tools, so I'm not sure why these are quite so expensive.Installing these is normally the work of moments, you just need a screwdriver and work gloves to remove the bottom curve piece, slide the silencer into place, and replace the screws holding the downspout together.I don't imagine this will ever really wear out - I suppose the carpet might wear thin decades from now, but it'll still be softer than the metal alone. And since it's at a somewhat vertical angle inside of a metal pipe, the water will naturally run off and get baked into evaporation, preventing the carpet from becoming a bed of mold. It's invisible anyway inside the pipe, and mold is soft, so who cares.And, they really do work! Instead of landing on hard and reverberating sheet metal, the water droplets fall onto the soft carpet with a soothing "plop, plop" sound that blends in with the normal sounds of raindrops falling on the ground. Light sleepers rejoice!

I have a downspout just outside my bedroom window, that has an elbow onto a small roof over the back patio. When there was even a light rain, drops of water would make the whole downspout ring like a gong, keeping me awake at night.The hardest part of installation is getting the ladder in place. I just slid the silencer in, with the bend sitting under the bottom of the output of the elbow. The weight of an 8 foot downspout is holding it in place. Even in recent downpours, it has remained where I put it.No more gong! I hear nothing in a light rain, and I just hear the soothing white noise of water moving through the downspout in a downpour.Worth every penny.

Like a couple other reviewers I'm a DIY-er with a well equipped shop. When I opened this thing I felt like an idiot, could have made a good facsimile of this myself rather easily. But getting the materials it's made of together was the rub and I'm busy doing other stuff. It installed in less than five minutes; getting the downspout parts disassembled and re-attached took up most of the time. Fortunately it rained two days later and not only is the keep-you-awake dripping sound muffled, it's.....gone. This is a simple solution for an annoying problem, ingenious and well thought out, glad I bought it and supported the maker.

Well built, simple concept that was easy to install. It does a good job with the only negative being that it shouldn't use the word “silencer” in its name. It DOES NOT silence a draining downspout. It DOES reduce the annoying sounds coming from one significantly. Well worth the price, but don’t expect “silence.”

This downspout silencer did not work for us. Would not recommend.

The reason I bought these was not to quite the rain running through the downspouts, it was to silence the darn dripping noise. Most noticeably after a rain had stopped/slowed way down or early mornings when the condensation is coming off the roof. For these type of issues, the product has done an outstanding job by deadening the drip noise to a point it is undetectable from inside the house.I ordered and installed three of these. 1 was the type 'A' and the other two were the type 'B'. Determining which type to order was hardest thing about this. It has nothing to do with the type of down spout you have. It is just the width of the item you are buying. I had to go outside and straddle the downspout extension to resolve this. If the fat side of the downspout is facing you, then you need the type 'A'. If the skinny side of the downspout is facing you, then you need the type 'B'.Installation was a breeze. Removed the elbow from the downspout, inserted the silencer and reattached the elbow. The silencer has a hook bent into it (shows up in one of the pictures) that you insert the backside of the elbow into. Properly installed, I do not see how this item could pop off the inside of the elbow. Everything is tight when the elbow is reinstalled. It is not going anywhere.For me, only thing left is to get through a winter. I need to make sure the silencer does not cause a ice dam inside the elbow. But for now, the 5 star rating is fully justified.
