I used to work in a hospital. All along the main steam line there would be a chitter chatter tapping noise, it sounded like morse code but not beeps. A guy I worked with said it was the traps on the drip legs. It seems like the only plausible explanation, the valve opening and shutting. However, if there are hundreds of taps/chatters a minute, the valve flickering open and shut like that, does that not suggest something’s wrong with the valve? Or is it normal for a trap to chatter like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I tried google but can only find pages discussing using electronic listening devices to hear through the static whether or not a traps functioning correctly
Convergence Training the only thing it could’ve been was the steam straps. Could very well have been the wrong size traps, they seemed to have a one size fits all approach
Convergence Training the place had horrendous water hammer, I’ve tried finding a video of water hammer as bad as it was in this place but can’t find anything even close, was deafening. I think the water hammer was in the condense line though, passing steam traps causing cavitation

Convergence Training and yeah it would happen continuously. Very rarely did the main steam line get isolated and I heard this chattering every day
