Default Main Water Tank: - Noisy Ball Valve

Can anyone recommend a quiet ball valve for the main water tank?, I have
seen maker names Torbeck and Fluidmaster, mentioned elsewhere.

It depends what's causing your current tank to be noisy.

If, like me, you're disturbed by the constant dribble and then drip of
water as the tank finishes filling then, yes, I'd suggest a Torbeck
valve as that worked for me(although it does give a single significant
"thump" as it shuts off which may cause a fair bit of noise if your
pipes are loose)

Cheers,
