Noise when toilet handle goes up!!

Can anyone tell me why there is a horrible groany noise when the handle goes up after pulling the chain. It only does it whilst the handle pops up (seconds) then stops!:confused:

Is it anything to worry about??

    nothing to worry about really, but if its annoying you could change the insides of the cistern for something a little quieter.

    If it has just started, the diaphram that pulls the water up to start the siphoning may be wearing/hardening.
    Rich people save then spend.
    Poor people spend then save what's left.

    It's been doing it off and on for a good few months now. It seems to be getting worse though and more noisy!

    Is it something that I can fix myself or do I need a plumber?
