Our upstairs toilet has started producing noisy vibrations in the water lines when we flush it.This only happens on this toilet,all the other cold water supplies to taps etc are fine.This noisy vibration can be stopped if we turn on the bathroom cold tap.
Could it be that we need a new syphon in the cistern.?

Change the washer in the ballvalve, turning the stopcock down a little may help for now.

Change the fill valve on that toilet. Use the brand FLUID MASTER if at all possible. From experience, most toilets usually DO NOT have this brand. If it did, it would not be making that noise.
What has happened is the washer in the old fill valve is weak & while the water is coming by it, it is vibrating the washer in the toilet & it is just like when you hold a piece of paper or grass in between your hands & blow, the vibration sounds that come from that---- that is what is causing the noise.

Its the ball valve. Depending on the type of valve you have in the cistern either change the washer or the complete valve.
Ball valves are fairly cheap these days so save yourself any bother change it 15mm ball valve if it is tank fed low pressure if it is on the mains high pressure.

I agree you could change the tank valve system.
You might try closing the supply valve about 1/2 way. Experiment with a few settings. This will reduce the water flow and pressure, but the tank will refill more slowly.

I think it is vibrating from the pipe going to you toilet.It could be a clip or saddle missing under the floor .Put your hand on the water pipe after flushing to see if that could be the cause.

a well known, code-compliant, tension compensated bathe valve ingredients warm and chilly water at equivalent pressures removing this from occurring. A non tension compensated valve enables chilly water to take the least process resistance and divert to the bathroom, consequently your bathe gets warmer as much less chilly water is mixing with the nice and comfortable.

I agree with ♥some♥wanna♥know♥ - get a Fluidmaster 400A. Available at any hardware store & not difficult to install if you're the slightest bit handy.

Water hammer; it's a sympathetic vibration in the pipe.
Just call a plumber, Yahoo can't fix it.
