Mend Flushing Cistern Syphon

Sound like a foghorn?

After flushing my toilet I get a sound much like a ships foghorn, why?.
There is no name on the flush (twin button) syphon
the cistern or the toilet pan to indicate who made them, not even in the pan to pee on.

I lifted the cistern lid expecting the MV Queen Elizabeth to be passing down the flush outlet. For none mariners MV is Merchant Vessel
Many thanks

THE issue is the ingoing water pressure i take from your comment the wc is connected to mains you could fit as PRV to the mains or if you know who is the manufacture of the inlet valve you will probably be able to get a flow reducer for the inlet valve

It really doesn't matter about the make or model, chances are the syphon is on it's way out,they are a generic part bought off the shelf for about a tenner.Have a look at the type,take a picture, if you have a tape measure, measure the height from the bottom of the tank to the top of the syphon (they vary some 9" some 91/2" if I remember right-the lid won't go on with the taller one) any DIY sells them, then follow the instructions on the packet and replace it.Good luck,it is a straight forward replacement.
