When I was a little girl, I didn't like loud noises. One of the things I believed was that the sound the toilet made when it was flushed called some type of evil spirit/monster, but this rule only applied after dark. As a result, I wouldn't flush the toilet if I got up to go during the night. Now as a mother of 4, I think about this when we wake up to unflushed toilets. My husband isn't as understanding, he gripes at them.
