Friends said they tried one and it was so loud they replaced it almost immediately. Anyone else have sound comments?

It's quieter than the "power assisted" (compressed air tank) toilets, but much louder than the super silent Porcher and other extremely expensive and not-so-low-flow toilets. I've had 4 other toilets in this bathroom and all of them clogged regularly. This has never come close to clogging. Pick your poison, as it were.

I have 4 of those toilets in my house. Only one of them make a lot of moise when flushed. And that's because in is the only toilet that I've had to replace the float valve. The other three are operating quite nicely. I asked that the flush valve be replaced and it works fine now.

I chose this toilet because of its reputation for a powerful flush that would result in few clogs. It works. The rush of water into the toilet bowl is the initial loud sound. Then a quiet fill valve takes over in refilling the toilet. Great toilet!

We recently got two of these and found that both are fairly loud, but one much more so than the other. Also, the worst noise is not from the initial rush of water, but during the final gurgle as the last of the water goes into the pipe. In one of these it's pretty bad. (Maybe I'll contact American Standard about it, as another responder mentioned doing.)Fill is almost silent. Flush is much stronger than average, but I suspect ours would not pass all the "tests" in the American Standard video of this model.

No problems for us in that regard. We like it much better than the two-piece Am Std we installed at the same time. When we replace the toilet in our third bathroom, I expect we'll buy another one of these.

It is a little louder than most, but the duration is like 4 seconds, which is a muchshorter flush cycle. We like both of them that we purchased.

Funny you ask. Mine just blew and im having a difficult time getting it replaced by Amazon

Nope. I've been using the same one for about four years now. I just lost the little piece of felt, so mine are louder than usual but perform flawlessly as usual.

K. I got this for a second house. I haven't been there since installed, but my nephew is saying that it is loud. Reach out 2/1, and I will give you an update.

I have the same version but with a metal chassis and noticed this whine. I'm going to look into a replacement. It makes the noise about 20 seconds after plugging in the power.

Not for me. In fact I returned mine. The sound kept going in and out for no reason, and since it was brand new - I was scared that one day I wouldn't have any sound at all. I returned it while there was still a 'return policy' available.

The one that I ordered did not.... I am like everyone else and did not like the loud noise it makes. I ended up selling mine.

Mine was loud at first but used a little workout on it and it calmed down with no noises after a while.

Mine isn't silent, but isn't horrible. Sounds like an issue to bring up with manufacturer. They might replace the unit.

I haven't. What kind of noise. Like a vibration or something? I replaced my cv's also though

I have heard them make noises as well. If you look at my review 5 out of 8 went bad on me. It may have been just bad luck but I sent mine back.

Mine was purchased as a gift so haven't had experience with the new version. Sounds like a defective unit. Don't think they are consumer fixable.

The same thing happened to me. So I sent it back for a replacement. The same thing happened to that one! So I sent it back for a refund & just gave up on the speakers. I'll save up my money for a brand with higher quality standards!

It is more of a loud whine. People on all sides of my cubicle could hear it, even the ones that sit diagonal. Fan only worked for 2 hours. Might want t try something different.

I replaced mine. The volume button never worked properly The sound quality was poor. If you replace the volume button with a smart phone you could use the equalizer on it but adjusting it is hard because your fingers don't work on the touch screen after riding your motorcycle .

Mine is noisy too, a high pitch whirring sound. I wondered if mine was broken as well but it has great suction so I think it's suppose to sound like that :)

No, I didn't resolve it. I tried 3 different ones, and they all had the same noise. Let me know if you end up going with the same model from a different store, I'm interested to see whether this is a problem with Amazon's batch or the entire line. It's too bad everywhere else is so much more expensive than Amazon though...
