For a more comprehensive analysis of the noise problem, consider hotels, where the number of bathrooms is comparable to the number of rooms. It is clear that in these structures, reducing the noise level in the bathrooms contributes significantly to the higher quality of the structure itself. The toilet is the fixture most affected by noise. The water released inside the toilet during flushing usually produces a particularly loud and annoying noise. The inventors of this invention have created a new toilet whose technical characteristics ensure lower noise levels than prior art toilets, along with improved aesthetics. This is essentially due to the fact that the toilet of the invention features a silencer recess that, in addition to dampening the noise of the flushing water, hides the flushing water outlet from the user's eyes. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The subject of the present invention is a toilet comprising a bowl-like structure having an internal side wall defining a basin; in said bowl-like structure being made a supply pipe for the washing water suitable for being connected to a water network to introduce washing water into the basin for cleaning the same; the said toilet being characterized in that the said flushing water supply pipe comprises a sliding portion, one end of which faces the outside of the bowl structure to be connected to the water supply, and a dispensing portion; a silencer recess being made in the said internal side wall; the said dispensing portion having an inlet end connected to the said sliding portion and an outlet end facing the inside of the said silencer recess. From the above, it is clear that the wash water supply pipe does not discharge directly into the basin, but into the silencer recess. This greatly reduces the noise of the water escaping from the wash water supply pipe, while also concealing the jet of wash water from the user's eyes. Preferably, said dispensing portion has a curved shape extending along the internal side wall following its curvature. Preferably, said silencer recess is defined by a rounded wall which, starting from the outlet end of the delivery portion, gradually connects without sharp edges to said internal side wall defining the basin. Preferably, the distance (d) between said outlet end of the dispensing portion and the internal side wall is between 31 and 41 mm. Preferably, said outlet end (8b) of the dispensing portion (8) has a diameter (b) between 12 and 22 mm. Preferably, said dispensing portion (8) has a longitudinal extension of between 70 and 120 mm. Preferably, the silencer recess has a maximum depth from the internal side wall of between 43 and 63 mm. Preferably, this vase structure is made of ceramic. Preferably, said internal sidewall is rimless. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Below is an example of implementation for purely illustrative and non-limiting purposes with the aid of the attached figures, in which: Figure 1 is a top perspective view of a toilet according to the present invention; Figure 2 is a section along line II-II of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a section along the line III-III of Figure 1; and Figure 4 is a section along the line IV-IV of Figure 1 longitudinal section of a toilet according to the present invention. PREFERRED FORM OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION In the attached figures, the reference numeral 1 denotes a toilet as a whole according to the present invention. The toilet 1 comprises a ceramic bowl structure 2 in which an internal side wall 3 defines a basin 4 and a waste pipe 5 connected to the basin 4 and extending behind the bowl structure 2 to be connected, in use, to a wall waste pipe. For the present invention it is irrelevant whether the toilet drain is on the floor or on the wall. A wash water supply conduit 6 is provided in the vessel structure 2, which communicates with the basin 4 to discharge the water and perform a cleaning action. The conduit is located inside a rear portion 2a of the structure 2 so that it can be connected to a water supply. The wash water supply duct 6 is composed of a sliding portion 7 and a dispensing portion 8. The sliding portion 7 extends along a longitudinal axis X of the structure 2. The sliding portion 7 comprises a first end 7a facing outside the structure 2 so that it can be connected to a water network and a second end 7b connected to the dispensing portion 8. The dispensing portion 8 comprises an inlet end 8a connected to the sliding portion 7 and an outlet end 8b, from which the washing water flows out to then reach the basin 4. The dispensing portion 8 has a length between 70 and 120 mm and a curved shape that develops along the internal side wall 3 following its curvature. As can be clearly seen in figure 3, the outlet end 8b of the delivery portion 8 faces inside a silencer recess 9 obtained in the internal side wall 3. In particular, the outlet end 8b is distant from the internal side wall 3 by a distance d of between 31 and 41 mm and has a diameter b of between 12 and 22 mm. The silencer recess 9 is defined by a rounded wall 10 which, starting from the outlet end 8b, gradually and smoothly connects to the internal side wall 3. According to a preferred embodiment, the bowl structure 2 of the toilet which is the subject of the present invention is rimless. The innovative aspect of the toilet of the present invention lies in the presence of the recess 9 obtained in the internal side wall 3 defining the basin 4 and into which the wash water supply pipe 6 discharges. It has been experimentally proven that the fact that the wash water is discharged not directly onto the internal side wall 3 but inside the recess 9, significantly dampens the noise produced by the wash water itself. In other words, the silencer recess 9 functions as a sort of transit chamber for the wash water. In fact, the wash water is first discharged into the silencer recess 9 and then flows, following a rounded and edge-free wall, onto the internal side wall 3 to clean it. As mentioned above, the presence of recess 9, in addition to silencing the flushing of the wash water, also has the function of hiding the point of dispensing the wash water, thus contributing to the aesthetics of the toilet as a whole. In this regard, it is important to emphasize that the toilet of the present invention achieves the aforementioned aesthetic advantage despite being rimless. In fact, prior art toilets that conceal the flushing point all have a rim, precisely because the flushing point is hidden by the rim itself. Although the absence of a rim has meant a significant improvement in terms of hygiene and noise, it has nevertheless brought the point where the washing water is dispensed back into view. Differently, the toilet of the present invention manages to combine the advantages in terms of hygiene due to the absence of a rim with the aesthetic advantages deriving from the covering of the flushing water supply point. With regard to the attenuation of the noise of the washing water, it should be considered that, in addition to the effect due to the discharge of the washing water into the silencer recess 9 and not directly onto the internal side wall 3, a further contribution in this sense is also given by the curved shape of the delivery portion 8 of the washing water supply duct 6 as well as the rounded and edge-free shape of the wall 10 of the silencer recess 9.
