If you agree that steam is passing through the hose, then if water is also flowing in the hose, it would tend to back up and make a sputtering noise near where the hose ends in the drain in the wall. Harry
I don't think it would make any noise at all. Did you notice in the video that Rossi deliberately raised the hose in a way that would cause any water in the hose to promptly flow into the drain, before pulling the hose out of the wall?
The hose goes from the E-Cat to the floor, across into that room with the sink fittings, and up into the drain. Water would accumulate in the hose pipe until it blocks the steam flow, at which point it would be pushed up into the drain. I doubt you'd hear a thing. I don't know the inner diameter of the hose, and there might be some muffled sound if the steam bubbles up through the water. Not much. The water level in the hose would never reach back up to the E-Cat, which is at a higher level.
