You may have a grain of sand or something in the impeller shaft area. Also, check the shaft for any damage to the little plastic end caps. I had one with a small crack in the shaft cap and it sounded like I poured a handfull of sand into it.
If you can't see and damage, try swapping the impellers. If the sound transfers then you just need to replace the damaged impeller.
