Common property plumbing is an OC responsibility to repair and maintain.
If the building is old then plumbing issues can arise over time. Perhaps that is the reason for the plumbing noise. Materials used in older buildings may be inferior to newer materials.
I would advise at least having a plumbing inspection. If the pipes are accessible they can be acoustically wrapped with pipe wrap.
I too have an issue with noisy common property property plumbing pipe works (possibly the sewer line) that runs adjacent to my Lot therefore I empathize with the complainant. The noise is quite disturbing to me.
