Use a pencil to mark the height of the water in the toilet tank. Then after a few minutes check it to see if the water level has dropped. From your description, I think you will find that the water is leaking out and has to be refilled very 15 to 20 minutes. : Terry, : Every 15-20 minutes with no water usage we hear a very low pitched humming that lasts about 5 seconds. I have tried and tried and cannot locate where the exact sound is coming from other than to say from the area of our master bathroom. I have constantly checked to make sure all the faucets were off and not leaking all around the house and everything seems normal. I have also not noticed any water loss in the toilet boils either, any advice? : Rick
