  Can anyone fix my problem: My problem is my flush makes a whistling sound when I use the toilet, at the time it increases and sometimes no whistle. Whats happening? How can I fix it?

  It could be a ‘wolf whistle’, cover the tank with a blanket or tell it to avert it’s eyes as you are making it flush.

  Assuming this is a serious question, not sure going by previous replies, it could mean what in old style cisterns would have been the ballcock is dying and will need replacing. I am no plumber so could be completely wrong, sorry if I am.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Actually, thinking about it, if you have a cistern and it is a “Jack Smith” model then they are known to whistle apparently.

  Welcome to the forum.
  As Jan says the problem is at the ballcock fill valve/float valve probably if in dover it will be limescale build up , if you can shut the water of it is an easy job to strip and clean also cheap replacements available from screwfix, B&Q etc.

  Thank you for your suggestion. I'm calling our local plumber and he had solved the problem by replacing the valve.
