Otherwise the washer is very quiet when running. It has been this way since new, so I am not sure whether or not the noise is normal for this brand. Anyone have an opinion? Thank you.

I disassembled the water pump and it was clear; however, I found a cylindrical strainer within the rubber boot that attaches the washer tub to the pump that was full of debri. It contained $2.07 worth of change, a 5/16" nut and several pieces of plastic from a damaged agitator. I cleaned the strainer and the noise disappeared. Thank you for your input.
