so, i just had a Toto Ultramax II (1.28 gpf) installed today. it went smoothly but when the installer turned everything on, he/we noticed that when the filling of the tank was just completed, the fill valve would make "tut-tut-tut" sound...sort of a mini-water hammer sort of behavior. he said he had never seen that ever in his 10-15 years of installing Totos.
he is going to have a "toto expert" to come look at it and diagnose the problem in the coming week, but i wanted to ask the collective folks if they have ever seen/heard something like this happen before.
he speculated that the toto valve may be a bit particular about what kind of valve it's hooked up to (see link below) and he wondered if it was somehow interacting in a odd way with the plastic valve the builders installed in our baths.
here's the type of water supply valve in our bathroom(s):

the toilet works (haven't tried for any real use yet) but i'm hoping there is a simple explanation or fix. although having the fill valve malfunction brand new does give me moment for concern about Toto quality. (of course, i acknowledge there could be something amiss with the water supply valve. yet, i've never had a problem with that with our prior toilet and minor repairs i've done that required turning it on and off)
