Could be water hammer. That is caused when water suddenly changes from stopped to moving or moving to stopped. Turn on and off the valve slower and see if that does the trick. They do make water hammer arresters that will eliminate or reduce the problem, but I would fix the toilet first and see if it still does it. Michael

That big plastic ball on the articulated arm that stops the water flow when it reaches a certain level. So now, to flush it, we turn on the water from the wall valve. When we do this, the pipes make a very loud rattling sound as if they want to jump out of their mountings. HOw do I fix this? The nuts ataching the in flow pipe to the tank and to the wall seem to be tight, so I can only guess this is happening inside the wall. Is this about right?
