Water intake noise

Hi all,
We all of a sudden developed a "noise" where the city water comes into the trailer. This has happened just recently. We also had the "black tank" crack and it was repaired by a mobile rv tech. We had a lot of solids in the bottom of the tank so the tech suggested we run our flush for at least 3 hours. It seemed to have started right after that. Any comments?
Thanks!
Chris

That just doesn't make any sense...solid fix to run flush for 3 hours? It makes more sense to do a bunch of fill and dump cycles using that flush to do the fill.

Noise is from your city water (normal) connection? or Is if from the No Fuss Flush connection?

They both have a spring loaded check valve and may be due to it fluttering which could just me due to the pressure/flow of the location your currently connected too. If its not overly noisy you may find that it will go away at your next location.

Well it may not of made sense, but it did the job, couldn't fill it up to dump anyway with the crack not bieng fixed yet. (RV frowns on black water dripping) RV tech frowned too when he took the panel off the bottom.
The noise is coming from where the fresh water enters the trailer on my 3400 it is behind the recliner on the driver side. We took the hose off and checked the screen, that was clear of anything.
Noise isn't that bothersome, we'll just wait and see.
Thanks, Chris
