Default Turn on sink; air bubbles from toilet

installed a new toliet and have noticed some weird happenings.
We I turn on the sink or the shower, there are air bubbles coming out
of the toliet. There is no noticable odor, but it is very disturbing.
Anyone know the cause of this?

Hi,

It isn't the vent plugged with a nest or a slope drain. If it were, the old
toilet would have done it also. It sounds like you might not have a perfect
seal on the wax ring or the flapper is not the greatest in the tank. It could
also be the actual valve in the tank leaking as well.
