Hello, does anyone know what this could be? Something in the gas heating system beeps when you flush the toilet. Unfortunately, I have no idea about this.

Is air escaping anywhere?
It sounds like overpressure, and that this overpressure is being released somewhere, either intentionally or unintentionally.
The whistling should therefore be caused by air being pushed out.

Have you already called the heating technician? What does he say?

No, I don’t see air escaping anywhere. How can this be checked?

I haven’t called anyone.

Feel the surface by hand and hold a lightweight paper (printer paper is too heavy, something like a plastic packaging) near it. Tap the water everywhere with your finger. Similar to a hole in a bicycle inner tube, escaping air will create small bubbles and a hissing sound in the water.

If the heating system was installed recently, I would contact the heating engineer, as you still have a warranty.
If the heating system is a few years old, you will probably need to call a plumber or HVAC technician if you can’t locate the source yourself.

Unpleasant noise. Air is leaking. Sound like a pressure cooker.

Hello

that sounds like a flowing noise. Possibly a valve not fully opened or the fill valve in the toilet cistern.
