I would change the valve in the toilet first and see if this cures the problem. It will harm your plumbing eventually if you allow it to continue.

Since the toilet would be cold water just cut into the line and put in a tee, what I do is it is is 1/2 inch I get a tee that is 1/2 inch on two end and branches to 3/4 on the side. I then solder in a one foot long piece of copper tubing with a cap on the end. That will get rid of the water banging your pipes. It all depends if you have PVC or galvanized, then instead of copper you need to make your hammer of that material. What you want to do is make a water hammer not get rid of one.
