Mine has made a moaning like sound for about 3 yrs now....It's not real loud though,you might try lubing it with some lithium grease or something.....

if you put lube on it, it will just bond to dirt particles in the air, and ultimately it will get worse... if you use anything, make sure its a dry lube, like graphite. i've found nothing works well
