Except the dish washing liquid will be washed away eventually leading back to the same sound again.

Tries experiment
lets water drip from tap
listens to noise
pours dish washing detergent on sink
listens to noise
There is not much difference.

Maybe they used a different dish washing detergent?

a dripping tap is anathema to a person who relies on just tanks for all their water.

You’don’t be better off turning the mainstream off, taking the tap washer out and coating it with the dishwasher liquid and putting it back together. Might help it seal

Well, you’re going to have to get up every few hours to empty the container that catches the drops (lest it over flow), so you can renew the detergent then.
The method is claimed to be effective. No claims are made about it being convenient.

This is also addressed by my advice that every few hours, you’ll need to empty the catching container.
Of course, you empty it back into the tank.

I know what you’re going to say: you end up with a tank full of soapy water.
Well, we’ve quietened the dripping noise, and prevented the waste of water.
Two out of three isn’t bad, you know.

Ahh, so drain the liquid away from the surface and the problem disappears? Not that easy.
Colleages at CSIRO were listening to vibrations of air bubbles in fluids about 15 years ago. From the pitch of the sounds they were able to measure in a nonintrusive way the diameter distributions of air bubbles.
So listening to the sound of a water drop hitting water they could have measured the size of the bubble trapped underneath.
Startling that no-one has done this work before, but they’re right, I’ve never heard of an explanation.
If you ever want to know what causes the sound of breaking waves then let me know. That I do know.

Not from the work on waves at DST, by any chance? One of the engineers on that was an ex-girlfriend…
If the drip is into an empty stainless sink, you wont even hear it if the bowl is backed with butyl rubber sound deadening material (which they should be).
I’m going to try the dish detergent trick.

Tie some string to the tap so that the water travels down the string and into the drain, thereby not making the dripping noise.
