When we flush the toilet, the water stops and the is a small "croak" I think it is coming from the small valve. any ideas

Come to think about it, ours too does that, but on rare occasion.

Could it be a little Kermit?

Billy or Ron or anyone,
Did you ever come up with an answer or solution to the toilet noise?  Our toilet also, after the flush and the water stops, follows with a small soft "croak" or "groan".  Is this normal?

Roni, I was hoping you were going to tell me. I guess we're back to the little Kermit????????

I, too, have the "croak" sound.  Probably a valve closing or pressure relief from the sudden stop of water flow???  The "little Kermit" is actually a better explanation.

I think it is a valve. NOW a question, we have the thetford toilet that came with the rig. when we flush the blade does not get cleaned off. we are thinking of a foot flush. other then thetford, any ideas?

Has the noise (croak) remained the same or become worse over time?  Will it effect the functioning of the toilet?  I guess what I am asking is- if it is a problem, does the valve need to be fixed or corrected?  I don't mind the small noise- just want to make sure nothing is going to get worse.
Thanks-

After reading this string with a bit of chuckling, I have to relate an actual incident that happened to me when I lived in Baton Rouge several years ago.  I walked into a bathroom in my house and when I raised the lid, there was a medium sized toad staring up at me from the bowl of the toilet.  He was not, however, croaking.  I surmized he must have come in by swimming upstream through the sewer system until he surfaced in the toilet bowl.  Significance of this - sometimes there really is a frog in the toilet.

Having lived in Alexandria, LA, many years ago, I fully understand the real frog experience.  On the question is the "croak" sound a problem that needs to be fixed--I had the same noise in my previous 2007 2700 PC, and the noise has been consistent for a year+ in my 2010 2350.  The noise is not irritating, and I don't feel anything needs to be done.  The foot flush toilet would be a nice upgrade, but I personally don't believe it's worth the time, effort and expense to change the toilet.  For us, the blade occasionally does not clean on the first flush-but nothing major.  A tip on another forum said to put a layer of toilet paper on the top of the water, and the flush is usually clean.  That's probably far enough (or maybe too far) on this topic...

I don't mind the sound.  I just wanted to make sure it is not the beginning of a larger problem.
