How to fix a whistling toilet?

No joke, just that every time it's flushed it sounds like an incoming missile.

?

I don't know how good this advice is.

I bought a sledgehammer and fixed my whistling toilet.

Doesn't whistle anymore, that's for sure.

M-80 works wonders!

Well, maybe it sounds like an incoming missle, while there's an outgoing missle.

Doppler effect?

give it some soda crackers

Thanks Talon - if that doesn't work I'll try the M-80 then the sledgehammer (boy, I wonder which would be more fun?!).

I got the perfect solution!!

Here's what you do, you INSULT it.

How to insult a whistling toilet, first pee in the toilet, then:

1) get a musical instrument, like a guitar or something;
2) play in rythem with the whistling toilet; and
3) once the toilet gets comfy with the music/rythem, you change the music.

This will cause the toilet to really get upset and out of key, then YOU FLUSH

That should do it. The toilet will be soo pissed like.

I hope that works for yah.

hhehe, lay of the crack fallen. Oh wait, stay o it

umm.. whistling toilet?

 

[yakko]

You sure it is the toilet that is whistling and not something else? Like maybe you ass?

 

[bigjon]

ROTFL! Hope not

Check the water inflow line... then the shutoff valve & the fill valve assembly.. also the water pressure.

A shut off valve almost closed can do it.

If the fill valve is worn... happens because of water chemicals as well as wear... it needs to be replaced. New assemblies are cheap for most style toilets...

10 min & you should know where the noise comes from...

Toilet repair is easier than video drivers...

<<Toilet repair is easier than video drivers...>>

LOL - true, true.

 

[Tominator]

Sure is easier...if you have problems, just sh!t-can the whole thing.....

You know I sometimes wistle when I see a nice arse.

So maybe it might help if you could make yourself less attractive to your toilet.
