[QUOTE="John4cam, post: 7989585, member: 55087"] I figured I'd ask in here since there's so much traffic and I really don't know a good plumber. I have a bathroom downstairs and upstairs. After moving into my home 1-1/2 years ago, when the upstairs toilet would be flushed, there would be some light strange sounds coming from the pipes. This would happen say every 6 flushes. Eventually it grew to a full blown hum from the time you flushed until the fill valve was done filling the tank. I did a litte searching and found that fill valves will often cause this. I went to lowes and bought a new fill valve and replaced it. The sound virtually went away until a couple days ago. My downstairs toilet was flushed and it started back up! 30 days it never made the sound once, and now it's back at it. I thought about replacing the fill valve again, and possibly the one on the downstairs as well. I have read water heaters can do this, fill valves, flush valves, shutoff valves, or it could be water hammer which I don't think it is. Has anyone ever had this problem or have any ideas what it could be?:shrug: Thanks for any input!!:beer: [/QUOTE]
