Sounds like auger is rubbing against carbon deposits at the edge of tube, tough to get in there unless you remove auger but try to pry away, the Harman tool (devil's tail) can usually do this.
I had the same sound in my accentra insert. I emptied the fines and pellets in the feed chamber. Started it up and after about 10 minutes, the problem went away.
loosen the bolt that connects the motor to the auger move the motor back about a 1/16" tighten and you are good to go 99% of the time.
