    Noisy Pipes
    When a toilet is flushed, why do my pipes make a very loud noise? Noise comes within the walls making it seem that they are in the ceiling. This does not happen with faucets or shower only one toilet.

    I would guess that you have a bad fill valve on toilet, or possibly a loose washer on stop under toilet. I would start by replacing fill valve. Get a fluidmaster fill valve. If you need more info on this please let me know.
