I've never heard of a "noisy" toilet.

Yean, but there were certainlly quiet toilets. More quiet than 95+% of
the others. *The one we had until we moved when I was ten was so quiet

very short, at least 10 or 12 inches shorter than most toilets, barely
reached above the level of the bowl (not counting the seat, of
course), and it was shaped like a Milk-bone dog biscuit, so I guess it
made up for the lack of height by a bigger cross section.

I don't know if they still sell these or not. *

Sounds kind of like a Rialto. Was it this one?

The Toto (any of them) flushes better, but it doesn't have as large of
a 'pond'.
