A drip noise was reported in the old units. The unifit adapter was redesigned and they are perfectly silent now.
I have one in my main bath now; it's quiet.
The original UniFit adapter (used on some Toto toilets) was all plastic. The newer version (from what I understand) has some sound deadening material applied to it. On ANY toilet, when you add something in, something goes out...it's generally filled to it's brim (weir), and that trickle can make a sound. It is damped quite a bit on an all-porcelain toilet. The newer Unifit damps it well, too.
I wonder how wrapping sound deadening mat around the Unifit adapter would work.I have a Carlyle 2 that was installed about 3 or 4 years ago with the dripping noise after a tank fill. It lasts about 15 seconds.
You might get the same result if you just sprayed it with some foam or stuffed a bunch of fiberglass in there around it. I have not had a chance to compare them, nor actually heard one of the new ones. Personally, I do not find it at all annoying and wouldn't spend any money or effort to change it since it does only last a very short time and isn't all that loud in the first place. Someone may have an old data sheet that showed the numbers...I do not know if they actually changed it. Most of the time, I do not even notice it...sort of like living next to a highway or airport, or having a grandfather's clock...your brain filters those things out once it recognizes them, and they fall into the background.Is there a new SKU for the updated unifit adapter? I would like to get one, but would really like to know i am getting a "quiet" v2 version. I have a Carlyle 2 that was installed about 3 or 4 years ago with the dripping noise after a tank fill. It lasts about 15 seconds.
Looking forward to the silence... Thank u everyone esp. u Terry.

You know, the dripping sound is from the water dripping over the weir as the water in the bowl settles to its design level from the amount of water put into the bowl during refill. If you could throttle the refill percentage back a little bit, so that the bowl was full-but-not-overfilled on shutoff of the tank, that would reduce the duration of (or eliminate) the dripping noise following shutoff. The danger is that each flush isn't absolutely-identical, so you could cut it too much and then the bowl wouldn't start off full, potentially leading to reduced flush performance.
If you have the original fill valve, you can swap it for the Korky 528 MaxPerformance, the silver cap one that has a little knob that lets you adjust the refill percentage (on the Carlyle it's about 28%). http://www.homedepot.com/p/Korky-QuietFill-MaxPERFORMANCE-Fill-Valve-528MCM/203145423
It's a valve that's recommended all the time by Terry.
This is awkward, but...
