The reason it is noisy is that it was not adjusted properly (or went out of adjustment) and the excess motion of the motor assembly beat the stuffing out of the foam insulation. Now the motor torques over and smacks the housing. A very scary noise but not that serious really. Disassemble, adjust the switches and replace the foam. Now you have a quiet, albeit quirky, winder.
