: : : : When the toilet is filling it makes a noise like a low frequency vibration. I have repleced the fill valve two times with a Fluidmaster 400A with no success in eliminating the noise. I have lived in the house five years and the noise started about six months ago. When the washing machine fills I hear the the same noise. Any ideas on what could be causing the noise? The water pipes are attached to the floor joists in the basement. Could the vibration in the water line be amplified through the joists?

: : : Sounds like it is a faulty valve somewhere on the line. Often a washer will go bad or a piece break off the washer and create a vibration. You can take the valve apart at the toilet first, then work your way back...

: : Do you mean the shut-off valve or the fill valve? I replaced the fill valve two times.

: Shutoff valve.

There are seven shutoff valves on the cold water supply in the house.(Two in each of three baths and one in the kitchen.) Could any one of these being defective cause the problem?
