A silent flush toilet allows you to do your business discreetly while causing minimum disturbance to others.
Today’s toilets offer plenty of noise reduction options. We’ve picked up 7 of the best options in this article. You’ll read about their quiet qualities, specs and other features you might like.
But first…
How loud are toilets?
A toilet flush is typically around 68 to 70 decibels (dB), but this can go all the way up to 80 dB.
To put it in perspective, that’s around the same noise level as a washing machine, and only a little quieter than a blender.
Silent flush toilets are never completely silent in the truest sense, but they are a lot quieter than normal.

And before a more detailed focus, here are their specs:
#1 – Kohler Highline Comfort
Quiet and stylish gravity flush with a higher, comfortable seat. Users back up its quiet flush compared to other models.
Let’s start with this user’s favorite. Many reviewers have given the Kohler Highline Comfort a thumbs up for its quiet operation.
There are reasons why this toilet shouldn’t be quiet – such as a powerful canister flush valve and the fact that it is two-piece, not one-piece, and is single rather than dual flush. But the Kohler Highline Comfort still comes up trumps where quietness is concerned.
So where does the low noise level come from? The fact that it is gravity flush certainly makes a difference. Gravity toilets use less water and are typically less noisy than pressure-assisted or power flush toilets.
There’s also a Class Five flushing system for optimum cleanliness. And, as the name suggests, the seat is at a high, comfortable height:
This means the toilet is at the same height as a standard chair, making sitting down and getting up easier.

#2 – HOROW HWMT-8733
Dual flush, compact and comfortable. Low on water use and low on noise. Comes with soft closing seat.
Another one we can put in the quiet category. With its dual flush mechanism, the HOROW HWMT-8733 not only offers low noise operation, it can also save you money on water.
A soft closing seat adds to the peace, avoiding clattering when using the bathroom. The seat is made of polypropylene; tough stuff which is literally unbreakable.
This is a small, streamlined toilet, measuring only 13.4 inches wide. It’s compact, but comfortable and has that appealing modern look.
If you do need to use the more powerful full flush this model offers, you can ensure there are no clogs and go for a louder flush when you want to.
Best for: Small bathrooms
#3 – GIVINGTREE Dual Flush Elongated
Low-noise user favorite. Dual flush and compact, contemporary appearance. Powerful with second siphon flush and thrust jet.
Another compact dual flusher. This elongated, compact one-piece toilet from GIVINGTREE gives you the option of using less water for a quieter flush. Reviewers have praised the product for its low noise. Alexandria said on Amazon:
“Quick, quiet flush and easy to wipe clean. Comfortable seat.”
The low profile, smart and sleek design, really grabs attention and makes this toilet a perfect match for modern bathrooms. Sure, it’s compact, at only an inch wider than the HOROW toilet above, but it’s comfortable, too.
Don’t let the diminutive nature of the GIVINGTREE Dual Flush fool you. This toilet does have power – a second siphon flush and thrust jet means you won’t have to worry about blockages.
What else? This toilet is cUPC certified, meeting American and Canadian plumbing requirements. It also has a soft closing seat.
Best for: Contemporary design bathrooms
#4 – Lausanne One Piece Elongated Toilet
Single piece and gravity flush for lower noise. One-of-a-kind, striking, classical toilet. Soft-close, quick release seat.
Being a gravity flush, single-piece toilet, this model from Lausanne already ticks two boxes on the quiet toilet checklist.
Users back up the fact that it flushes quietly, and besides that, there is a soft-close toilet seat with quick release. The quick release feature can be misunderstood if you have never had this type of seat. It basically means when you are removing the seat (putting it up), it goes up quickly and quietly.
Now let’s address the (black) elephant in the room: The black matte colour of this ceramic toilet will appeal to those with a special kind of taste.
With its classical lines and profiles, this Lausanne One Piece Elongated Toilet lends a suave look to bathrooms, and fitted in a downstairs bathroom can certainly be a conversation starter with guests.
Best for: Classically designed or quirky homes
#5 – WOODBRIDGE One Piece Toilet
Low water flush = low noise. Thumbs up from users on quiet operation. Power demonstrated 1,000g maximum performance flush on the EPA’s scale.
This model from WOODBRIDGE promises you the best of both worlds – powerful flushing that is very quiet.
Its 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) means that you save water while reducing the noise of each flush. And flushes. Bryce, a very satisfied buyer on Amazon, said:
“It flushes great and it’s quiet in comparison to others I’ve had. One push of the button takes care of any situation I’ve come across.”
When it comes to the toilet’s power, this is backed up by the WaterSense program devised by the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA). Using this metric, this WOODBRIDGE One Piece Toilet achieved a maximum performance score of 1,000 grams for each flush.
Due to its smooth design – with no edges or grooves – it’s easy to clean. And… it has a soft closing seat.
With powerful flushing and durable features including a metal hinge, this is a silent flush toilet built to last.
Best for: Busy family home
#6 – American Standard H2OPTION
Dual flush and low noise – multiple users attest to quiet operation. Light flush option uses less water and makes less noise as a result.
Another powerful but quiet flusher that measures up to the US EPA’s 1,000 g maximum performance flush level.
It is dual flush, and although it is two rather than one piece, users testify to its low noise level. Commenting on an Amazon review, Debkmsb said:
“I love this toilet! It’s compact and quiet. I’ve only had it a short time, but I’m very satisfied so far.”
You don’t have to rely on user reviews – science tells you this is a quiet toilet. There is a light flush option of only 0.92 gallons, clearing the bowl discreetly and effectively.
Note that the seat is sold separately. There is a choice of a round or elongated seat.
Best for: Environmentally conscious household
#7 – Swiss Madison Chateau
Distinctive, stylish single-piece toilet with soft flush option that uses a minimal amount of water for low noise.
Have we saved the best until last?
With a soft flush option using just 0.8 gallons, this single piece, dual flush Swiss Madison Chateau also has a distinctive, timeless design.
The glossy white finish means it’s time to shine! A comfort height seat gives you an ergonomic design. But it’s the low profile top section that really catches the eye:
Possibly the perfect quiet flush toilet, although not the most powerful. For this reason, may not suit ‘passengers with heavier deposits’.
Best for: Discreet, quiet ladies’ toilet
