Sometimes the surface the flapper rests on can have a flaw that allows water to seep past. I had this happening on one of my toliets. So I got the Korky brand flapper with the "flapper surface repair kit", its essentially a plastic circle that is ringed on top for the flapper to lay on, and you attach it to the old surface with a silicon adhesive. I installed mine a while ago, and now the toliet doesn't leak a drop! No random water-fill sounds anymore.
My other toliet I just installed, replacing the 60 year old unit that was original to the house and sucked at flushing effectively. (an old Briggs) New one is a glacier bay with the dual flush system with buttons on top of the tank. The mechanism in the tank is an engineering marvel. And it has a teflon type gasket that sets on the opening, and is guaranteed to never leak. So far so good.
