I've been smoking for about 20 minutes and wow what a crazy difference from a corn cob. There is barely a noise when I hit it. If I didn't get all paranoid I probably wouldn't even notice. Thanks for the help/advice

The same problem was addressed there and it turned out to be his best smoke and other people with a 320 said when they dry hit it they heard the same thing so i'll smoke it tonight and let you know how I make out.
I'm worried that i'm just paranoid because this is my first real pipe and don't know what to expect. But the corn cob is a lot quieter. When you inhale through an empty pipe could you hear each inhale? I would hate to send it back to find out that that's normal
I just got my first pipe, a Savinelli 320. When I puff it with nothing in it, it whistles. Is this normal or should i send it back? I removed the stem and that's the part that whistles. The whistle is a lot louder with the filter inside.
