    Hi,

    everytime we flush our toilets or after we have used the shower there is a foghorn sound coming out of our water tank in the attick. It either stops once the tank is filled or if I take the lid off the water tank.


    many ideas how to fix this please?

    Could it possibly be the ballcock either?

    Sorry I thought you meant the valve when you said the cockstop

    yeah, the floating thing in the tank that shuts the water at certain level. Not so bad yet , but will be looking for replacement for myself soon

    Hopefully it is something as simple as that and not too costly

    Just simply turn down the fill valve / Stopcock until it quietens.

    Theres no need to fill a water tank fast. or replace anything.
