Wooshing sound after fitting a new close coupled toilet

Hi, New to this site so hope this works.
Just removed an old toilet and fitted a new push button cistern one.
i had to re route the supply water pipe over the waste pipe coming out of the back as i had to use a Swan Neck one to line up with waste hole in floor, and the water pipe didnt fit past waste pipe.
I cut the pipe less than a meter away, and fitted a Service valve( NOT Full Bore) i then had ti route pipe over the waste pipe using 3 right angle joins to reach cistern inlet.
After finnishing, it all works ok, but i now here a Wooshing sound from the cold water pipe in the corner of the room whilst it is filling after a flush. Trying to work out whats changed to cause this?, is it the new cistern , which i left the restrictor in as we have quite high pressure, is it not using a Full Bore service valve, is it having 3 right angles in pipe to cistern ?? Any help much appreciated alan

Hi alandk,
Use a length of stick eg garden cane, hold this on the possible offenders and you should be able to identify where the noise is being created. Most likely is the fill valve in the cistern.
