Now you're single, you don't have to worry about such things!  Time for the pub!!   

But the neighbors are not amused , its really loud 

[Sir Tigger KC]

You won't hear the loo or the neighbours down the pub!

Replace the washer in the float valve.

[Sir Tigger KC]

Sensible answer though is that it's probably the ball valve singing. There's a rubber diaphragm that probably needs replacing.  Easy to dismantle and replace.

Replace the whole innards then

There's a washer where the end of the arm pushes against the valve.

You're better off binning the ball float type & fitting something like this ie a silent flush.
