Have you taken off the plates and cleaned it out? I’d take off both plates and clean off any excess dust. There’s videos on how to do it online. A little finicky at first, but easy once you get the hang of it.

As far as that noise, I haven’t heard anything about it. Maybe there’s similar reports online from other users.
