Hi there!
This is what's going on. A little more than a week ago the chain broke on my flapper and I replaced it. After I replaced it, when you flushed the toilet you had to hold the handle down, it wouldn't 'float' around while the toilet filled up. Since then, once in awhile my wife and I have noticed a strange humming sound. It would go away and we never put two and two together, until tonight. The sound is really loud and continuous now and I've noticed when the toilet is refilling after a flush, the noise stops. Also if I turn the water on in the bathroom sink, the sound will go down a little, but of course come right back when I turn the water off. I've checked the valve for the water going into the toilet and made sure it was on full, but whether it's on full or completely off the vibrating/noise is still happening. It's very low pitched and really annoying me (and my cats). Any suggestions for this problem would be GREATLY appreciated.
