Ha! First time that I've seen this subject come up on the list. Same
thing has happened to me several times and it drives me nuts. One
night I just had to do something,  so I clamped rags to the gutters on
both sides which created another path for the water to flow. I still
have not come up with a permanent fix. Thought about applying some
sound dampening material to the sheet metal down there which would
help, but not eliminate the noise. Anyone have any ideas?
