It is the difference between the noise a waterfall makes and a river. Falling water will always be noisier, and without modifying the plumbing, or building, you may just have to live with the sound. : Terry, : We've just had a couple of Toto toilets installed on a new home. When flushed it sounds like a waterfall going through the walls. We thought it was the speed of the water exiting the toilets....but the same amount of noise from the bathtub draining as well. : There seems to me much more noise in the vertical cast iron pipe than in the "horizontal" portions in the basement. What are some causes and solutions : Thanks!!!
