Hi All.
This happens in most pipes I believe in general. For instance, if you turn on a faucet at full blast and you hear the water going through the pipes, sometimes you hear it almost become a powerful sound with a higher pitched 'psssssst' sound as the water is flowing.
Two years ago, one of our toilets would make this sound when flushing the toilet. Initially, you wouldn't hear it, but 10 seconds into the flushing you would hear the high pitched sound of the waterpipe, until the toilet filled and all was quiet again. To alleviate the problem at the time, I adjusted the valve on the toilet to reduce the flow of water (make it slower) and that seemed to quiet down the loud sound.
However, now, it seems it has come back with a vengeance. I adjusted the valve levels to see if it cuts the sound but it doesn't.
Questions
1) What is the reason/cause of this loud 'pssst' sound. Pressure? Note: it's not a whiney sound or squeeky sound...it's a sound as if you could hear water flowing strongly through the pipes.
2) How can I fix this?
We have 2 other washrooms and no other one has this issue.
The house is 10 years old and I did replace the toilet flush mechanism a year ago.
Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks
