Hi. Stumped on an issue. Please help

Standard toilet
Corky Fill valve
Fluidmaster Flapper

Intermittent sound of water running and occasional squealing sound, almost like vacuum/suction. I had a Corky flapper, but the soft rubber was popping off the tabs at the pivot.

Any thoughts?
 
Not familiar with the Korky fill valve but, if there is a replaceable diaphragm in the head assembly start there.
Check the water pressure.

I have a Fluidmaster in my toilet and it just recently started to squeal.
That a first for me I have never seen one squeal l like mine.
I have seen old style ball cocks squeal but they seem to disappearing from most toilets these days.

This is my video of a humming ballcock [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUp6uke625g"]humming ballcock[/ame]
 
I believe I may have the problem resolved (fingers crossed). Corrosion on the brass where the flapper seats. Brown scotchbrite pad, and so far, so good. You can see the difference in the picture. Cleaned on left, the right with buildup.
