Sounds like a playing card in the spoke of a bicycle but loud. As the cloths dry the noise slowly goes away. I took top off and with the dryer running pushed down on the drum and the noise returned. When I let off it went away (Cloths in dryer were dry) All felt and nylon runners recently replaced. Sounds like it is coming from bottom of unit. I'm wondering if it is the plastic drive belt pulley being worn and vibrates under heavy load?
