A few years ago I installed a Toto Drake - great toilet. Recently, I installed 2 more Drake's in my house.
Both work fine. However, the one in a power room on the first floor makes a distinctive 'thud' nose when flushed for #1. The noise is coming from the flapper that drops down to allow the tank to re-fill.
The only difference between this toilet and the other 2 is the number of spacers I used between the existing toilet flange and the extender. With the Set-Rite flange extender product, the other 2 toilets, used a 1/4" spacer. For the 'thud' toilet, I had to come up 1" so used multiple spacers to make up this height as per the product.
What might account for this 'thud'? It does not make the noise if I hold down the handle for a full flush.
Thanks
