Why does my toilet make a high pitched whine when it refills?

    When my toilet is refilling with water,it makes a very high pitched whine. i have recently installed a Fluidmaster Bottom Entry Fill Valve UK ½" from screwfix, there is a lot of pressure but this valve states it works well with high pressure systems. I have not fitted a re-fill tube as it is not supplied and have never really needed one in the past. The isolation valve is fully open.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Adjusting the isolation valve down a tad may help.

    heard somewhere you shouldn't leave isolation valves fully open. Correct me if I'm wrong
