    The water coming into the cistern is making a terrible noise when flushed
    It is almost like air in the system (Shakes the house)! Does this mean it needs a new ballcock? It was replaced by a plumber about 2 years ago for same reason.. It is a plastic system of ballcock in a reasonably new loo (8years). All the loos in the house were put in at the same time but this is the only one that makes this dreadful noise.
    Please advise if you can

    Sounds like a loose washer in the stop valve to me.

Toilet won't stop making water noise [ 3 Answers ]

My toilet has a tendency after it is flushed to keep cycling water--not in the basin--but up top in the thing there. So it never quits making that noise. Once in a while if I flush it "right" it works. I'm sure its easily fixable but can someone tell me what's wrong.
