Singing toilet...

Oh wise ones, our toilet has started 'singing' in a 'woooowoooo' fashion when flushed, turning the cold taps on is also doing it to a lesser extent...

Is this just 'one of those things' or a harbinger of plumbing doom?

    Our pipes often make a horrendous noise when the loo is flushed, if we turn on a cold tap during this noise it quietens down.
    It drives us mad

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    try adjusting the main stopcock either way. adjusting the presssure sometimes cures the problem.
    Get some gorm.

    Better a toilet "singing," than one which is "humming," me thinks :rolleyes:
