    Pipes humming after replacing toilet fill valves

    Thank you very much to everyone. It's wonderful to be pointed in a direction, where previously I had none. Before anyone else had replied, I did follow john's advice, and swapped out the fill valves (again) for new Fluidmaster PerforMAX models. If nothing else, they do seem sturdier, and I'm...
