No hope for noisy pipes

Q: Four years ago, my wife and I moved into our smallish condo in a 1950s, 12-unit building in San Francisco. At the time, I was amazed by the fact that there was very little noise coming from our pipes when others in the building ran water, showered or flushed the toilet. That has changed. Now the pipes are very noisy.
