Problem number one- debris stuck in the fill valve.

The fill valve is a part that is near the left side of your toilet tank. The valve works to fill the toilet tank with water after each flush. When it works properly, the fill valve will shut off as soon as the water in the tank reaches a certain level.

The fill valve can stop working right if debris gets caught in it. The debris will keep the valve from closing correctly. It also pushes rough a restricted opening and that causes the hissing noise
