My toilet goes squeeeeeeeee after I flush it, but I've pretty much tuned out the noise..

Your toilet may be calling out to mine, and vice versa.

Tired of fucking with the toilet, other big, important home tasks to accomplish.

But I have found out how to shush it. I go into the bathroom, and turn on the tap in the sink, then very quickly turn the water off. The little bit of pipe hammer that produces nudges the shrieking valve into place, water stops, shrieking stops.

This was happening in both my toilets within a month of the sale closing.  I ended up replacing all the guts in both.  A friend did one so I could kind of see it (but I was working on something else at the time).  I did the other by myself.  It really wasn't hard.  I was iffy on replacing everything, but my friend showed me how some of the gaskets were starting to deteriorate.  The sell all in one kits with all the tools and parts needed.
