Hi Becky,
Here's an article that should help.

It's probably the ball valve. Easy to replace. Sold at any of the big box stores. If it still seems to be "leaking" into the bowl, replace the stopper. Again easy to replace. Good luck.
Replace the ball valve and be sure to get the red one. They last longer then the black ones.
I fixed mine with a universal gut, primarily the stopper. At first it didn't help but then I adjusted the thing they say may need adjusted (sorry, proof that even amateurs can fix a toilet) and it's been quiet and peaceful ever since. Total cost under $10.
Sounds like you need the kit that goes inside.
