So i replaced the flapper and put a real chain on it. Now after i flush when the tank is done refilling the pipes make a groaning noise and it shakes the house. Any ideas?

Oh NO! You did not appease the Goddess of Toilets, first!
Now, you're in for it! Cats and dogs will run in the streets, women will scream in wild rage at their menfolk, and, all your nylons will get runs!
Actually, you could check the level that your float lets the tank fill, and lower it a bit, or put in a milk bottle full of water, sealed, or two bricks, and join the revolution to save water!

Try slowing the fill at the valve outside the toilet. Your description sounds like the filling valve assembly (ball-cauck-valve) is what is making the noise by slamming off the water fill, not the flapper. The flapper is the cover over the tank drain hole. Maybe the ball cauck-valve needs replacing to another style. I prefer the grey and black plastic type that slide straight up and down smoothly. About $8 at home depot. This Q & A site won't let me spell the valve properly

Sounds like water hammering. Either there is air in the pipes or a pipe may have come loose.

sounds like the pipes are cloged and the pressure is causing the shaking and groaning. a plumbers snake could clean it out.
