An atmospheric gas burner assembly is described adapted for use in a domestic water heater comprising a venturi tube having an open venturi inlet end for aspirating primary air there into and in admixture with a pressurized gas fuel stream introduced axially into said tube inlet end, said venturi tube having an open outlet end communicating in air tight manner with a burner chamber portion of a gas-air burner unit, and a turbulator member comprising a metal band disposed transversely of said venturi tube adjacent said outlet end thereof and extending diametrically there across and an elongated fixed non-rotating cylindrical pointed pin member located centrally of said band and extending axially within said venturi tube with its pointed end facing upstream toward the open inlet end thereof for creating a turbulence of the gas-air mixture within and at the outlet end of said tube to minimize noise during burner operation.
