Everytime i flush my toilet it makes a LOUD RUMBLING NOISE a minute or two after i flush it. It will eventually stop after a few seconds. Or it can stop instantly when i run the Faucet or run some water. Some type of PRESSURE thing is goin on with the pipes possibly. does anyone know how to fix this?

Air in the pipes. Have a plumber check for (air) leaks.

Check the knob behind the toilet seat....turn it to several positions as you flush the toilet to check for pressure. Could be the position of the pipes, the size of them or the flushing mechanism as well. But check the first thing Ive suggested. You might call a plumber if you cant get it to stop after about a week or so of adjusting the turn off valve at the back. Good luck.

Forgive me this,,,It's late and I'm hearing the call of my bed.
certainly it can be air in the lines, or plumbing parts creating the noise,,,OR,,,
Perhaps, the porcelain Gods are unhappy with the use, and offering, and are letting you know that.
Not knowing the plumbing issues that exist, I'd suggest it's trapped air. Whether or not you have a "clean oy plug" located anywhere,, you should. The immediate drain line beneath your toilet may not have a "P" trap close, because the structure of the toilet allows for that,,,but in any other lines you should have at least one on every sink. The P,,, is for just that purpose. PRESSURE,, if you don't notice it diminishing or increasing, may not be a critical issue.

It almost sounds like you have a blockage going on somewhere, so the best thing would be to contact a plumber. You might just need to have some drains roded out.

It"s the water (pressure)coming through the fill valve as it fills the tank up again. Change it out --- install a "FluidMaster" valve -- under $10 and not too complicated to install for a D.I.Y. person.

sounds like you need to replace the ballcock assembly the valve that lets the water inside the tank. change it and no more noise, the diaphram in the ballcock has gone bad cheaper to change the whole thing
