Funny noise from P61A

[Emmie]

Our P61A is making a noise we never heard before - it's not a loud sound - it kind of sounds like pellets going down a chute. It is quiet and then we hear this, it goes quiet and then starts again. We shut it down today and started it up about 1/2 hour ago and it started and is running without any problems. I've attached a sound file. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA!

The noise stopped - just a fluke I guess.

I can only hear the fans in the audio. But hearing the pellets move is not unusual. sometimes I weird out because I don't hear the pellets moving in my P43 and I think something must be wrong.

That's a normal noise. Our P43 does it, my theory is smaller pellets make it happen more, longer ones don't. It's just some pellets dropping down from the hopper to the auger area.
