I hope someone comes by who actually knows something about toilets, family life and senstivity who can help you — and me! The minute I saw your post I clicked on it because I will want a quieter toilet for my next house purchase.

I wish more parents were like you and understood all people, including children, are different, and doesn’t think routinely in cliches.

Of course, one CAN use their Google........

Failing that? The first answer is the easiest over time as it applies to kids. And yes......adults too. Ive been in a family, and I see LOTS of families, I've seen toddlers sleep under a glaring light in the middle of a kitchen... Nearly "new" children sleep like rocks almost on command. Sorry, ask your pediatrician.

So I have to agree with Jan . As for a quiet flush IMO the best flushing toilet using the least amt. of water is what is the best toilet. Usually they are a bit noisy but quick and honestly if a flushing toilet wakes your child then more sound deadening insulation between the bedroom and the bathroom is the answer Usually what is best is the closet bening between the bedroom and the bathroom for privacy and noise reduction. I like Toto toilets to save water and flush completely but are these bathrooms used by you or the kids . If by the kids I guess they will be sleeping and if by you then I would add a layer of sound deadening drywall if this is a big issue. I have had my own kids and grand children at my home for sleeping and not once has a flushing toilet woken anyone up

Agree with Jan. Ambient noise is part of life, our brains quickly learn to ignore it. Right now the fridge is running, the AC is blowing, the birds are chirping, Hubs is snoring, and unless I concentrate, I don't "hear" any of it. Some people do have an unusual "startle reaction" to ambient noises which is cause for a Medical consult.

See link below, as it addresses noise, other important features and lists pros and cons of some models. If not helpful enough, there is a lot of on line information. A quiet toilet benefits an entire family.😊

as to noise: Yes lower levels are nice, but. You will never control a barking dog next door, an ambulance.....heavy rain on the roof, and lots of other things. But if a nice quiet toilet makes you happy? Then certainly have. Don't sneeze while you are in there.: )

Regular schedules and bedtime rituals play a big role in helping kids get sound sleep and function at their best. When you set and maintain good sleep habits, it helps your child fall asleep, stay asleep, and awake rested and refreshed. They can help take the stress out of bedtime, too.There are no hard-and-fast rules for bedtime, and every child is different. What's important is to build a routine that works for your family -- and to stick with it. Here are nine ways to get started.

1. Make sleep a family priority.
Set regular go-to-bed and wake-up times for the entire family and be sure to follow them -- even on weekends. You can tell that children are getting enough sleep when they fall asleep within 15 to 30 minutes of going to bed, wake up easily in the morning, and don't nod off during the day.

4. Routine, routine, routine.
Kids love it, they thrive on it, and it works. One study found that a consistent nighttime routine improved sleep in children who had mild to moderate sleep problems. It helps your child learn to be sleepy, just like reading in bed often puts adults to sleep. It can also make bedtime a special time. That will help your child associate the bedroom with good feelings and give them a sense of security and control. There is no single routine that's right for everyone, but in general, yours should include all the things that your child needs to do before going to sleep, including brushing teeth, washing up, putting on PJs, and having a snack or drink of water. Your child may want to read a book with you, talk about the day, or hear a story. Whatever you choose to do, keep the routine short (30 minutes or less, not including a bath) and be firm about ending it when it's time to sleep.

9. One last thing.

Kids will always ask for that one last thing -- hugs, a drink of water, a trip to the bathroom, just one more book. Do your best to head off these requests by making them part of the bedtime routine. And let your child know that once they are in bed, they have to stay in bed.

If they get up, don't react -- simply take them by the hand and walk them back to bed. If you argue or give in to requests, you’re giving them the extra attention -- and delayed bedtime -- they want. And don't give into the "just this one time" pitfall. If you read one more story or let them stay up longer "just this once," the bedtime routine you’ve built could come undone.

Or as friend with five girls under six, ( triplets in there) wisely said: "The battle is won/lost at the cradle. Do the comfort and safety checks, close the door, and walk away. Don't go back" . Don't. "

I have a Toto and it is very quiet.

The newest low flow toilets of the past decade or so flush with a woosh sound, it's usually not too loud. If there's more noise than that, it could be from the water pipe.

I agree, most kids sleep soundly. Flush with the door closed and you should be fine. Attend to noisy pipes if need be. I have 15 year old Totos that were the lowest flow made at the time that I put in one house and new American Standard ones I put into my second house about a year ago. All flush powerfully. I like both equally well, neither make much noise after the woosh.

We have Toto Drake, I believe. They’re pretty quiet, but I have a huge beef with keeping them clean. Literally, sh%& sticks. Plus the interior of the bowl is designed that it’s difficult to clean the nooks and crannies. As well, the water level line always looks dirty - at least in my house. The water line coincides with a “bump out” of the bowl itself, looking like a dirty rim. That said , I will say the toilets flush well and completely. They’re fairly quiet. Perhaps it’s our extremely hard water that’s contributing, but seriously, the design and bowl surface just suck. A minor issue- the top of the tank is slanted so a tissue box won’t stay put. Just food for thought. Good luck! PS, I raised 3 kids with cheap toilets and never thought of noise being an issue.

Wait til the morning to flush.

Having ripped out five toilets that didn’t flush-one didn’t completely flush toilet paper!-I use Toto because they perform the real job of flushing. By the way, in both houses, those useless toilets were American (Sub)Standard.

Not what OP asked but in response to @Connecticut Yankeeeee - I have two Toto toilets and there is absolutely no issue with keeping them clean. They both have Toto's "Sana Finish" or whatever they are calling it currently. The Toto in my master bath also has a washlet which runs water down the side when the seat opens as I approach it which also I assume helps keep things from adhering - it practically washes itself :-).

I do have hard water so I did get hard water lines in my previous toilets so the Toto finish definitely works.

And FWIW, the Toto toilet is low flow and I have not had a single clog or other issue with it since I moved back after the remodel which was about 2 1/2 years ago. My previous toilet which was old was constantly clogging and had sluggish draining even though it was theoretically NOT a lwo flow model as it was the original toilet from before toilets were low flow.

Hi Helen- I appreciate your comments. I’m thinking mine do not have the Sana-finish or whatever it’s called. I never thought to ask. I’m so disgusted by this house I gave up years ago trying to make it work for me. I just knew we needed toilets that actually worked, (our builder grade, low flow toilets required at least 2 flushes and often clogged). Brother in law is a plumber… ergo trusted him in the Toto. The toilets are about 4 years old and have always been this difficult to manage. I changed the toilet seats too because you couldn’t possibly keep them clean with all the crevices etc. Anyway - obviously my problem and I would definitely buy Toto again. I’d be more wise though and look at the design features.
