Sounds like bearings to me… or the impeller is rubbing on something like a piece of wood. Spin it by hand and check for debris that might be interfering. If it's the bearings, that is an easy fix and will set you back about $10.
Pull the motor and crack it open. It's just 4 bolts/nuts. You usually can replace them without any special tools (like a bearing puller or splitter), which based on your question, I'm guessing you don't have
Cheers,
