Fierce fountain/waterfall

[Mollieanna]

Last summer I had my garden pond cleaned, the pump replaced and a water feature added. The water feature is a little fierce. In fact my neighbours have mentioned the noise of the splashing water, in the nicest possible way. How can I slow the water down, maybe introduce a smaller bore pipe. Please bear in mind I an a lady alone so it will have to be something simple and easy.

You can change the sound of the water several ways - slowing it down or changing how it hits. Some photos of your set up will help - is this a water fall? A fountain?
