What causes noise after flushing toilet?

Foghorn sound: If your toilet makes an alarming foghorn sound when you flush, it’s likely because it has a metal ballcock (don’t laugh) fill valve. The washer inside the assembly may be loose or worn. When you hear the foghorn noise, lift the float to the top of the tank.

Depending on your water pressure, a tank usually refills in about three minutes. If it’s slow to fill or it’s not filling at all, try the shut-off first. Make sure the water shut-off is completely open for maximum water flow. If it’s not completely open, that may account for your slow-fill issues.

How do I stop my toilet from making noise after flushing?

If you find that after flushing, there is a loud hammering toilet noise, it may be that it is the sudden stopping of the water flow as described above.

Why is my toilet running constantly?

The water level in the tank is controlled by an adjustable float. A float that’s set too low produces a weak flush; if it’s set too high, water spills into the toilet overflow tube and the fill valve won’t shut off. The toilet keeps running. Keep adjusting the float until the water shuts off at the proper level.
