Pretty loud; I have a Naval base nearby and for a sec I thought it was one of their planes overhead. No ballcock in my toilet and it does not stop or let up when I run water, flush the toilet, etc. Plus the toilet is only 3 years old and I had the insides replace about 16 months ago - long story. Looked inside. Not the toilet. Was quiet and fine this morning; ungodly loud tonight. First time and it has not let up.
