I installed two new toilets one toilet doesn't do this sound and the other does.
You can hear it at 42 seconds and on in this video. It sounds like a trickle/drip coming from the bowel.

No visible leaks. The sound continues for about a minute after the flush is complete.

Before I take this apart figure I would ask the experts for their opinion.

Same model toilet? Is the quiet one one all-china? Does the one without the drip have a lesser bowl refill?

Same model yes, and I believe the bowel is the same fill.

I took it apart and no leaks so I probably just wasted time for my ocd.

Could it just be the way the pipe drains?

Watch the fill. See how long before the fill shuts off that the bowl level stops rising. One may do less refill.

After a flush, the bowl refills. Sometimes overfilling so that water makes it's way down the drain.
Then after it's full, water that was down the drain slowly drips downward, sticking to the passageway until if finally becomes as dry as it's going to be and then it's done with all that maddening dripping noise.

Hey, wait a minute.
