as long as i have been in this house 10 yrs

that accounts for the toilet what about it happening when i close the cold water basin tap

is it a bottom entry fill?? if so you can purchase a fluid master cheap enough, that should cure your toilet issue.

why has it now only started to bother you, i would have thought you got used to it after 10 years.?.

 

[andyg0507]

possibly the washers in the taps, could you strip them down and have a look for defaults, apart from that is there anyway you can access the pipes?? they may not be cliped correctly or at all.

doesn't bother me mate, but the abuse, twinning i've endured over these last long 10 yrs has finnally broke me

well i doubt it is the diaphragm washer then as over 10 years there wont be any left.

putting your tap on low then flush toilet, what happens to sound level?.
