when i flush my toilet and it starts to refill a deep quite loud humming noise occurs. The toilet is a close coupled lever handled type with syphonic action and mains fed into cistern from bottom entry. the noise occurs at start of refill and ends before cistern has finished filling. however it doesnt seem to make the noise whenever you flush wait for it to fill, and then flush again. Its more when it hasnt been flushed for a while it is noisy. Could it need the ball valve split and checked for dirt, or a new one. Any suggestions appreciated.

change the diaphragm in the float valve
maybe you have a low pressure float valve for your mains pressure fed cistern!!

Fluidmaster all the way - if you can find a PTS near you they'll charge you £8.99 foor one at the moment. It comes with a brass connection shank at the bottom as well so you won't knacker the nasty plastic threads you find on most other valves.
Thks all for your help. Not everything is covered in the text books,and you cant beat experience,cheers.
