I have an old-fashioned one, and it was relatively easy to fix. I am not at all a handy person. I waited over a year-I have a landlord that I don 't like to call (part of it was being so embarrassed I couldn't fix it) and I don't pay for water. But eventually the noise got to me. I google for some repair sites, dismantled part of the faucet, and took the piece to the hardware store to get an exact replacement-a medium size Ace had a zillion types. It took me 20 minutes exclduing the trip. Worth it. The websites out there are incredible-something should help.

To just block noise I've heard of people running twine or a rag from faucet to bottom of sink-no plop.
