Answer 2

I noticed my outside the tank filter is more noisy if it has air trapped in the pickup tube. I have a whisper 2
turn the flow valve around to closed and then put it back on full open. That gets the trapped air out of mine. If it has air in it you can hear it clear it out.
If you clean down in that hole don't use metal in the motor where the magnet is. Make you a Q-tip or fasten a stick or straw onto one.
