    Toilet flush noise(pipes)
    Hi I live in condo with a unit above me, recently when we flush our toilet the pipes make a long howling noise. Just curious if it's a sign of a potential problem or if its nothing to worry about. The condos are 11yrs old. An answer is MUCH appreciated! Kirk

    Do you hear the noise when the toilet is actually flushing, or do you her it when the tank is refilling?

    Hello there - I have a similar problem on only one of the 4 toilets in the house. It is the one used the most and at the point of flushing, not the toilet filling up. It actually comes and goes, weeks on and months off. Anything yo worry about?

    Thanks

    Try to CLOSE and OPEN the angles stop ( that is the water valve low and on side of the toilet ). Also, you may have dirt in your fill valve. Here, you would have to close water, remove top of the fill vavle, clean it under running water and reinstall. See if that helps

    Back to you
