Why do drains make noise when the water is going down?

Drains make noise when the water is going down because the water hits the drain as the water goes down. The water also is going down at a rapid pace, that makes the same sound as a waterfall. When the water is falling to the direct drain, the water beats on the drain.


Why does water run down the bathtub drain like a swirl?

I think there are several factors that can cause the swirl. First, it is not, as many people erroneously think, the Coriolis forces. A tub is much too small for the Coriolis force to have any effect on the motion of the water. The location of the faucets and the shape of the tub probably have the the most effect. If the water already has some motion, it will cause the water to swirl in that direction.

Does water drain counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere?

That is a myth. Although cyclonic storms tend to rotate the way you describe, water vortexes do not. The particular shape and configuration of the drain, as well as the initial conditions of the swirl, play a much greater role in determining which way the vortex rotates. Although there is such a thing as coriolis, you can't observe it on anything smaller than a storm system. The idea that water spins one way or the other when going down the drain is an urban legend.

Kitchen sink vent?

The vent for the drain is in the wall. Where the drain goes in, it T's with the water going down and the vent going through the roof. With a double sink, one side is the vent for the other. As long as the water isn't pulling against a vacuum, it will drain.


What causes water to rise into the other side of a double sink?

The drain going out is clogged. Both sides share the same drain and water seeks it's own level so it comes up in the other side. Put some drain cleaner down the drain.
