    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?

    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.
