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.

elodie_reveur asker Yeah, the toilet makes a crazy amount of noise, especially at night. I'm renting but I can ask the landlord.

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!
