Hello!
My husband and I just bought our first condo and started our move-in this week. We've discovered an irregular loud vibrational noise coming from our toilet area.
See the video here: http://youtu.be/hHSxg8jypG4
I took the video during a peak yesterday when the noise was happening every five minutes during lunchtime (12:15-1:15pm). Touching the toilet in the first part of the video was unrelated to the noise stopping.
Basically we observed the noise for about 24 hours (Tues - Wed) and it seemed to happen really sporadically. It ranged from happening from once an hour to multiple times an hour, with the peak occurring every five minutes during lunch yesterday. It doesn't happen when we flush the toilet. Doesn't seem to happen at any other kind of consistent intervals, other than maybe peak usage times in the building (lunch and after work, 6pm-10pm). I don't think the flapper is leaking. Our building manager thinks we need to replace the fill kit (via email). Last night (Wed) I turned the water off to the toilet and drained the tank. I didn't hear a peep while the toilet was drained for 12 hours from last night to this morning. The water is back on and I still haven't heard anything for the past two hours.
Any ideas??
