I had this with the internal workings of the toilet just this past weekend. I switched the internal parts

out, and it took care of it. There was a lot of hard water build up on the parts. My guess is you either need to change the hose or redo the valve due to hard water sediment buildup, which isn’t as hard as you might think if you’ve never done it before.

Plumbing experts: Sustained, high-pitched noise at the turn-off valve of toilet

Not a plumber but is the valve partially closed? If it is, open it all the way

First thing I thought of, too. It's open.

And if it's open all the way, shut it off just a little bit (1/4 turn).

Tried that, too. No joy.

Not a plumber. COULD have hard water buildup at that valve causing that sound.

That would be my next thought, or even sediment build-up.
