    Noisy Toilet
    Every time I flush my toilet, I get a loud noise about a minute or two latter as the tank is just completed being filled with water. The noise lasts for about 15 seconds and is getting longer as time goes on. What is causing this noise & how can I fix it?

    Are you on city water or a pump? If this is a vibrating noise then it might just be "seat chatter" between the washer in the ballcock and the seat. Two things you might try are turning down the volume at the angle stop or shutting the water off and removing the stem and washer. Once you have it apart turn the water back on for a minute to flush out the supply and then push the washer in so it seats firmly. Reassemble and test. Better now? Regards, Tom
