     We had a similar problem in our block. Are you sure that it is the occupants who are causing the problem? The easiest way to tell is to see if you hear it during the day or if they out at night. In our block the problem was two defective toilets in another unit. These toilets had a very slow leak from the cistern into the bowl. Eventually the cistern refilled and the flushing noise was heard through the pipes. Some units however heard water dripping periodically throughout the night from the same toilets. They assumed this noise was someone using the toilet because it was often followed by the flushing noise.

    It was a really difficult thing to workout what was causing it and it annoyed everyone on our side of the building for months. We eventually worked it out by asking everyone to turn their toilets off at the cistern one night. This solved  both problems. We then looked at everyone’s toilets  until we found the leaking ones.

    My advice is to ask other residents if they hear the noise as well. We did it by putting a notice in the foyer. This told us more than one unit was affected and which water riser the units were on meant we knew who to ask to turn their toilet off.

    Unless you have tried to sleep in units where there are problems with the toilets you have no idea how much sleep disturbance they can cause.  I hope you can ort this out quickly.
