Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: run it briefly to hear whether the noise is load-related or constant. Should that not clear it, a steady mechanical noise past that point usually means a bearing, motor, or compressor is wearing out, and running it further can turn a small repair into a full replacement.
