A while ago I had problems with a very strange high pitched noise eminating from the bathroom.I have a small extractor fan above a small window above the toilet. Every time the high pitched whining started I went into the bathroom and listened. I figured it was coming from the extractor fan so I took the cover off, cleaned it with the hoover attachement and replaced the cover. After a while the noise started again. It took me a few days of trying to figure out what was happening to make the noise in the fan when eventually I gave up, took the cover off again and took out the wires so it wouldn't work, (it came on when the light was turned on), and replaced the cover.
A few days later, much to my dismay, the noise started again and it turned out it was the cistern making the noise due to water pressure.
Months later it still makes a noise. I daren't mess with the plumbing in case I really fuck it up.
