Our toilet makes a sound after it has filled. This is at a beach house and the water is turned off when no one is there. Last weekend it sounded like someone was outside with a weed-eater (high pitched hum). Ran water in tub, sink, and flushed. Seemed to help but then sound came back. Any one else ever have this problem or have any ideas?
Thanks

It may be possible to clean the fill valve. Some models have a removable cap with the water to the toilet turned off remove the cap. then put a cup or jar over the valve and turn the water on water rocks & rust scale will usually flush out with a cycle of the float fully opening. Then turn off the water and replace the cap. If your cap is not removable replacement is the next option.
