I have an 80plus year old home. There are four toilets between three floors. One on the second floor seems to burp or have a "mini explosion". It happens once or twice during the night when there is no other plumbing activity going on and it doesn't happen every night. If it is the stack pipe, how does one go about cleaning it out from three floors up? Thank you for any help in this matter.

That doesn't normally happen unless there is either other plumbing being used, the toilet lets water out, or there is wind causing back pressure.

bubbling toilet
I have a toilet that bubbles - but only when the toilet is flushed in the bathroom that backs up to the bubbling one. The problem started when we put in a new toilet. The flange broke and so it was temporarily fixed. That is when the bubbling started. Last week when the flanged was replace and the toilet was reinstalled the bubbling got much worse.
Any suggestions??

It sounds like the toilet was venting through the leaking flange... Something isn't good! Did you install a pressure assisted toilet by any chance? Sometimes those puppies have too much oomph for their own good!
