Default Whistling toilet

When I flush the master toilet, the water inlet valve in the guest toilet makes a whistling sound. Started about 6 months ago. Happens about 90% of the time. Does not happen when any faucet is running. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Sometimes I hear a bassoon in that small room.

If it was happening to the toilet you were flushing I would say replace the fill valve. But if it's happening in a secondary toilet I would just be taking a guess and say to check the toilet vents to make sure they don't have any debris in them.

Also maybe try shutting off the water on the secondary toilet then see what happens when you flush the master.

Sounds like a venting problem. But, I am not sure what you mean by the water inlet valve. Does water run in the guest toilet when you flush the master toilet? That would indicate a blockage in the vent pipe. You may need to get a plumber to go on the roof to check for a blockage in the vent pipe. But, I would start by replacing the flapper or sealing gasket in the guest toilet tank and see if it fixes the problem. That is a simple do it yourself task. You may also try shutting the toilet supply valve to the guest toilet (pull it out), empty the guest toilet by flushing it, and then see if you still get the noise.

I have the same type of problem. When the float goes to the top I get that sound.

I didn't wanna say anything but I alway's hear 76 trombones led the big parade? Maybe it's just me.

Truthfully you already got the answer. Possibly the wax ring?? Time will tell.

Huh? Which fill valve was sticking? The master toilet or the guest toilet? Why would the guest toilet whistle when you flushed the master toilet? And, what do the faucets have to do with the problem? I'd like to know for future reference.

We both suggested a vent problem and/or a valve problem. But we're just mere commoners..

Some people just can't help themselves, even when trying to be helpful.

He does know which toilet is whistling. The one in the guest bathroom. The toilet in the GUEST bathroom whistles when he flushes the one in the MASTER bathroom.

Reading comprehension helps in situations like this.
Just wanted to let you know I appreciated your reply before it disappears.

My guess....expert in everything but being nice and making friends!
