Steve probably nailed it! I would also take a pressure reading just to be sure that it is not too high. The water pressure sould be less than 80 PSI. and many strange noises can be attributed to high pressure. Like valves screaming for mercy. |

That is exactly when it happens! Is a fill valve easy to replace?

If the toilet is a "standard" 2 piece toilet, then yes the fill valve is very easy to replace. I usually use a Fluidmaster 400A for a replacement. |
I'll be making the trip to the Home Center tonight and hopefully by tomorrow the awful noise will be gone from my life.| Re: surging toilet |

You will probably want to replace the supply line as well. They tend to leak when disturbed. |
