    It appears like your fill valve has dirt in it. Close water, take top of the fill valve apart, clean it, reinstall it. Turn water back on. That should do.

    If old toilet than you may also think about replacing your fill valve with Fluidmaster valve. Costs $7.00 at Home Depot and works much better.
