    Noisy propane water heater
    I recently had a new propane water heater replaced in a closet on an outside wall. The burners are very noisy and can be heard throughout the house. Everyone that I talk to including the plumber that installed it say that it shouldn't be that noisy. It is a Whirlpool purchased at Lowe's. Any suggestions or comments will be greatly appreciated.

    I hope whoever installed the propane heater checked,and adjusted the gas pressure to the burner. That can make the a bit noisy.
