From what I've seen, HVAC guys all use glued up PVC pipe, with nice plumb horizontal and vertical runs. This make the water slow to drain and encourages funk growth.

I took off the "access panel" (ok, actually I took apart one entire side of the duct. There wasn't an access panel per se, but it wasn't too bad).

They do sometimes make strange noises when bubbles of vapor go through the expansion valve. If it's low enough to not put any liquid through the valve, then you won't get cold air.

These are designed to keep the water flowing (no blockages of drain lines) which also eliminates the musty odor sometimes attributed to the wet condensate pans.
