Nico...

Not exactly clear on what you are asking here. Are you saying that your toilet bubbles or gurgles and burps on occasion.. Does this occur during the flushing of the toilet or does this happen when someone else is using the plumbing in the house/apartment?

Let me know more...

It seems like there is an air rush into toilet, happens in spurts , how do you fix thisUsually all air rush noises is the fill valve trying to catch up with itself because the flapper valve is either leaking slightly, the flapper valve chain is stuck enough to let it leak, or hard water build up on the float mechanism (fluid master), Mansfield brand has calcium buildup under float set screw must be thrown away and replaced. (If you change any of these fill valves, do what the instructions tell you what to do and flush the water supply line), if you don't, small particles will become trapped in fluid master or Mansfield brand diaphrams. :rolleyes:
