Stop using immediately. Open and inspect the blade chamber. If the noise is metallic, expect blade damage requiring a new motor unit ($300+). Secure pipes with clamps every 3 feet.

A healthy Saniflo should purr. If it’s buzzing or vibrating loudly, something is likely stuck. When Your Saniflo System Starts Making Strange Noises
You hear the motor spinning or humming, but water remains in the bowl or sink, and no waste is being pumped out.
