Noisy water heater blower
I recently installed a Bradford White water heater with a power vent and now my neightbor is complaining about how loud it is. How can I reduce the noise coming out of the 2" PVC pipe outside the house?

There really is no way to do this. If you put a cap you will restrict the air flow which will cause you to have problems with the water heater, same thing if you where to put screen on it. You can try enlarging the pipe to a 3 inch and see if that works. But 15 years in the trade nothing has been made to reduce the noise
