Help the toilet has gone mad!

Does anyone out there know a little about plumbing?
For some reason everytime I flush my toilet it sounds like the world is going to end. It makes a roaring/vibrating noise as the cistern refills. This stops when the cold tap is turned on. I have tried turning down the water pressure to the minimum and this didn't help. I tried turning the pressure right up, no use. I have checked for loose pipes, none. The maddening thing is that sometimes it is fine for several days then starts again.
Any ideas welcome no matter how daft. Cheers all.:mad:

If ya lay of the curry's for a day or two, see if that helps...... :rotfl: :rotfl:If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.0

When I had that problem with mine it was because there was to little pressure.
I had to alter the stop tap in the road to enable me to have more adjustment on the inside tap. It may help.
