A toilet flushing that creates a groaning sound in the pipes of a house is usually caused by gas buildup in the lines. As the waste and water pass through, it displaces the gases causing the audible noise.
Sir John Harrington developed the first flush toilet prototype in the late 16th century. It featured a cistern that flushed water into a bowl to remove waste. Although his design was innovative, it did not gain widespread popularity or acceptance during his time.
Toilet cistern can cost a lot since it is the most used water in the house. But there is some ways to reducing the amount of water your toilet is flushing. First fill a half gallon container with water, place the container in the tank of the toilet, lower it in to the water, replace the lid and then youÕre ready to flush.

the first telephone was installed in the white house (presidents house) (america) 1880.
He was awarded the first patent for the flushing toilet (or valve closet) in 1775. This new toilet was an improvement of Sir John Harrington's water closet, which was invented in 1596 and used by Queen Elizabeth I. The water closet was able to flush, but did not have a water trap. Cummings' toilet allowed some water to stay in the bowl after flushing because of the "S trap," a sliding valve between the bowl and trap. This excess water kept the house from smelling like sewage and helped to clean the bowl after use. Many other inventors followed Cummings and contributed their ideas to what is now the modern day toilet.
