Bathroom Remodel Tinnitus in Mind

[Bambam0]

Planning to remodel bathroom. Currently shower has plastic pan that is quite loud when water hits it. Thinking going with a tile shower floor might help quiet it down.

Has anyone thought about a remodel through their "tinnitus lens?"

Our shower has non slip tiles with small metal drain of which the water doesn't hit. Regular tiles can be very slippery when wet.

Just don't do the job yourself and you'll be okay

Tiles are quiet but after 10 years they'll start bringing the adjacent rooms down.

A shower with a heavy ceramic floor tub without too much air underneath will last longer and be less noisy than plastic.

However, the built in pipes can make a metallic noise when water runs through.

Tiles are absolutely highest comfort regarding noise and for the elderly people.

As @Elmer B Fuddled said, the metal drain should be small vents and into a corner for both shower comfort and noise.
