The house is about 8 years old and this loud droning noise started approx one week ago. Have been trawling though internet and everything I found on attic tank related to overflow (not our problem) or clanging pipes (again not the problem). This drone sounds like an airplane flying overhead and can last for up to four or five hours after the toilet has been flushed. Last night it was still droning at 5 a.m.!!! Am shattered!

At this time of year, it's always wise to check for reindeer droppings and bits of sleigh. Bits like that regularly fall off during test runs.

Had this once. Water cuts off too abruptly after the cistern is full. Try tying a small piece of sponge to the end of the ball **** to the sort of leaver where the water comes in. Where the ball lifts up and the water turns off. The spunge slows down the cutting off and for some reason this doesn't make the horrible noise then.

Water hammer/ air locks. Could be cured by replacing float valve with either a high pressure (narrow aparture)diapham type (Part 2) or equilibrium type (expensive and rare). A bigger ball float or a flower pot hung from the float arm may help. Air locks can be caused by a too small supply pipe from the cistern or by a partly closed gate/stop valve trapping air. Gate valves normally have turn wheel handles. Securing any loose pipework also helps cut down noise.

Replace the inlet valve on your toilet cistern, costs less than a fiver and takes less than 10 minutes to do, (remember to turn the water off 1st). This problem also occurs with header tanks in the loft (work on the same principle) **remember to check the float level when finished

We get that noise in our home when too many faucets are on at the same time. Like when hubby is in the shower and someone flushes and I am washing dishes. It is actually that there is not enough pressure to refill that causes the noise. Very annoying here too.

Sounds like a rubber washer has gone bad. Possibly in the inlet or outlet valve. This causes a sound like a reed instrument.

Sounds like an airlock in your system

check ballvalve in the cold water tank, the washer may wearing causing the valve to "knock"....or it may be letting a little water by and vibrating....
