You chop off one head of the hydra and another one grows in it's place.
I used to correct people like this in fear that a newer umpire would read this horribly Rollie-esque incorrect advice, and use it in a game.
I no longer have the energy. I propose we simply ignore the noise coming from the leaky faucet - all attempts at correcting the plumbing problem simply cause the faucet to increase in volume.
From now on, I will ignore and move on. I ask you to do the same.
