Do you have a toilet that makes a crazy noise every time someone flushes, or is this more about general comfort?
Honestly, it really depends on your situation. If you live in a small apartment where you can hear everything, yeah it's worth it. I've got friends who installed a silent flush and honestly they say it's a game-changer for not disturbing people at night or early in the morning. The thing is, it can be quite a bit of work depending on your current system - sometimes it's just a new mechanism to swap out, sometimes you have to replace the whole thing.
The price varies a lot but it's generally not crazy expensive. The most important thing is that it actually works - I'd say 80% of modern models are already pretty quiet, so before you drop a bunch of money, check if your problem is really the noise or just an old flush that's breaking down. An old flush that's grinding makes noise, but a simple repair or taking it apart to clean it might be enough. If you're renting, ask your landlord first because technically it's not your thing to modify without permission.
Have you been dealing with the noise for a long time, or is this something that's just bothering you now? Personally I switched mine out last year and honestly it's not a miracle! It is quieter yeah, like maybe 30% less loud, but you can still hear it. Though if you've really got a toilet that's thundering and it's bothering the whole apartment, why not, but I don't get the feeling it's THE expense that'll change your life!
