Perhaps to make it more expensive, the $129 "Gen-Turi" ("
system") has a one-inch gap in the pipe.
My BIL's simple pipe has a straight run, and is astonishingly effective.
As for rain, a "T" installed at the bottom would collect any rainwater that might find its way down the narrow pipe. I'd have to ask if he made a little cap on a stick to cover the opening when the generator's not in use.
Flappers send out metallic "pings" at low operating speeds; also, I would think
all designs would need to be cut off "square" at the top in order to be effective against noise.
