check the overflow pipe in the cistern tank as some fill valves do not stop completely but allow input of water after the noise has stopped. This allows the water level to rise up and the water to flow out into the toilet bowl. Reduce the water level height by adjusting the cut off level and when the water rises past the new level the increase pressure on the valve will shut it off.
Hi,
The fill valve has dirt in it and the water is squeaking by literally...making the noise....
Either clean the fill valve if it is one that is cleanable or change the valve...
I like to use the Fluidmaster 400A valve it is cleanable and easy to install...
This happens over time and also more often if you have hard water. Using cleaner tabs actually make it worse. You need to change it out. Hardware stores carry a direct replacement. I think it was a Fluidmaster 400A model that is identical to yours.
Make a note where your water level is then the tank is full. Replace the assembly that lets the water in with a Fluidmaster 400A fill valve, available at your local plumbing supply store.
If this is the standard manfield 160 toilet I recommend replacing the fill valve with a Fluidmaster 400a. They are easy to install and adjust , and work very well.I have installed hundreds of these and have had zero problems. Hope this helps.

Thanks...
I have installed 400A or 400LS valves on systems as low as 30psi, but below that I don't know that it would work very well if you needed it to fill faster.
Keep in mind that your pressure to the toilet will be 1/2psi for every foot above the fill level of the tank, which is reduced by friction loss in the pipe and fittings on the way to the toilet.
