What are some good lab safety rules? Are the Physics rules any different from that of Biology or Chemistry?
I don't know that this is a vent pipe. We get this problem when we run hot water. The hot water makes the copper pipes expand. When our addition was built, the plumber should have used fittings that did not cause this problem. Unless you want to open up the walls, you're stuck with it. In our case, it makes as much noise in the summer as it does now.
It's not the schools responsibility. I would contact the local police dept. I did so on a guy who would speed by the elementary school. The cops staked out an area and pulled him over. Also, your city council could work on installing speed bumps on the street as well.
