noise
Pull the tank cover off.....reach in and manually lower the arm to get the sound......
It becomes pretty easy to figure out if it's water hammer (thumping) or squeaky valve (higher freq)
If a water hammer issue....replacing the valve may not help....squeaky? Yes...replace the valve.
Do you hear what sounds like a 'drip' at the back of your toilet? If so, it's your valve leaking slowely.
On water hammer....one trick that has worked for me....I crank the water supply valve under the tolet down a few turns....the toilet will not refill as quickly but is slows down the water velocity and reduces the hammer or does away with it completly.
