Noisy Toilet

[Kev63]

Hi Guys,

Probably an easy fix with some expert knowledge but my toilet is being awfully noisy when it refills after a flush. I've tried Googling this issue but I can't find any toilets with my set up (where the water is coming out to fill the tank is different to all the toilets I've seen).

Tank in full:


Where water is coming out of:


Another angle:


Hopefully the images help. The little pipe is where the water free falls from to fill the tank up. I tried spinning this round whilst it was filling to change where the water falls and it seemed to stop the noise slightly (could just be due to my hand being on it stopping vibrations). Unfortunately when i was messing about with it the entire thing came off in my hand and water was spraying everywhere! I slotted it back on but now the water pressure every time i flush causes it to shoot off and nearly floods my bathroom. I've somehow managed to click it back on and it seems ok now so hopefully stays put. I must admit though it's not a tight fit like it used to be and casues water to leak at the connecting seams aswell as coming out the pipe. At least it's not all spraying upwards though!

Another way i can minus the noise if i mess about with the balloon if its filling up but i suspect this is just to me pulling it up manually so the toilet thinks its full therefore no noise.

Any quick fixes / help would be appreciated chaps and if you need any more pics just let me know. Thought i best get advice now before I nearly cause another flood.

Yer, that's what mine is like dude, minus the loose condom for silencing. Water just freefalls. That noise isn't the issue though. As it's filling I have a really loud fog horn noise that seems to be coming from the same part also.

Any ideas? I found someone saying 'tighten the screw on the end of the balloon rod' but mine doesn't have one of them and beside the balloon isn't making the noise (However noise does stop when balloon signals the tank is full).
