Loud from start to finish. can't believe it

The reason I replaced my cheap $75 toilet was because I thought it was noisy to wake people up at night and now , where I have a tenant with a shared wall that allows home conferencing to work, I needed to do something about it and it was time to upgrade and buy a better toilet as I figured quieter couldn't get any worse . NOT CORRECT . This toilet is so loud I can't believe it. from start to finish Unfortunately, now that it's installed I have to spend time isolating and clipping out the noise. #1. The bowl is deep in the front so the pee is loud and no matter how you sit or what angle you urinate at, it's loud #2. The initial flush gulps air/water loudly, even a short one or holding the handle for a long time doesn't change anything Sound #3 Water dripping onto the filler in the tank is a strong air spray sound. My walls are already insulated, as is the ceiling. I'm going to try installing a thin rigid tank liner using 1/2 inch foam plus styrofoam around the fill. Let's see if that helps. Also the old toilet in front was shallow like a ramp but this toilet is deep. up front, i'm thinking of buying a ceramic mix and making a little solid ramp call me crazy you won't believe it yourself but you have to do something but ripping out that toilet bowl and replacing it isn't an option yet.

Pros
  • Clean modern two piece set: round bowl and cistern
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
