    The drip system is low flow. It does not cause sufficient flow/differential pressure to lift the back flow poppet valve / piston completely clear of the seat. What you are hearing is "flutter" of the valve.
    As noted check downstream of the back flow preventer for restrictions.

    Not only is Bert a hell of a gun Smiff, he is also an expert when it comes to back flow...........

    Ask him about when I hit a 4” irrigation line for the landscaping in the I-25 & Colfax interchange.

    At his age there's probably more than "back flow" going on. .
