I don't see how that could be directly related. With a bottle to displace water, the tank should fill up faster and that's it. Maybe the bottle is leaning against something? Or maybe you accidentally misaligned something when putting the bottle in?

Take the bottle out and flush. If the 'screaming' goes away, put it back in. Try flushing with the tank top off, with and without the bottle. Then you can see if something is rubbing against the bottle. Maybe the float rests on the bottle when the water level is low, then it wouldn't open all the way and may produce a 'screaming' sound.
