[QUOTE="=04 Cobra Nut=, post: 7990190, member: 44976"] The problem is coming from the toilet or the pipes leading to the toilet? I lived in my house for 6 years, put in a lawn irrigation system and when on the pipes would hum with the running of water, in any condition ie. shower, toilet, clothes washer, etc.. Al I did was add a wye in the line heading into the house and added a shutoff leading to the outside irrigation. This was before the reverse check and before the pressure regulator. I ended up turning the pressure on the regulator up slightly and the sound went away. I tried going the other way and reducing the pressure inside the house a bit, but it didn't fix the problem. All I can figure is that when the sprinkler was running the pressure dropped till it was resonant in the pipes. That is my pipe noise story. Don't know if it will help or not, but is worth a try. Do NOT crank the pressure way up or your fixtures will drip, run on and such. You're not trying to overpower the washers! Dave [/QUOTE]
