    Maoning noise from toilet
    When our toilet is flushed there is a moaning vibration in the pipes. It stops if we crack open another water outlet. However if we again close the cracked outlet the noise continues until the toilet stops running. What causes this and how can it be remedied?

    I am almost certain that this is caused by the valve in your commode. If you know how to take the valve apart you can put a new neoprene part inside, if not you can change the complete valve.

    If you have a water cut off valve on the wall under the tank of the commode, be sure to turn the water off there before you take anything apart. If you don't have a cut off there then you need to find where you can turn the water off.

    Yes it sure does sound like the washer in the fill valve is loose and vibrating. Does your valve look like one of these two? https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/attach...p_image001.jpg

One of our toilets makes a loud noise, which seems to be coming from the pipes. It kind of sounds like there may be air or that the water is having trouble getting through the pipes. The noise starts once the tank is about half empty. Any ideas?

Our toilet is making a loud noise throughout the day (and night) which sounds like it is refilling up the water (?) We tried adjusting it, but it didn't work. It wakes us up at night, and is raising our water bill, so any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Help. Before I call the plumber, can anyone tell me why, after flushing the toilet, it has begun to take longer, when it is refilling, to stop making the noise that it does? I don't know how to explain it... it is not a huge noise, but just that it has begun to now take a long time to stop, not...
