My Vacuum is Making a High Pitched Noise!

My vacuum is making a high pitched noise.
It is just whining about all the work is has to do cleaning up after you.
I'm serious. It makes a high pitched whine while I'm vacuuming.
It may make that noise all the time by design.
It's not a Riccar. It was not always making this noise.
There may be a wad of pet hair wrapped around the brushes, and it is making that noise because it wants to spin faster but can't.
Sounds like you've got that all wrapped up.
It may not be a jammed brush. There might be plastic wrappers or something else in there making the noise as the air rushes by.
I do not hear a rushing, whooshing sound.
If there is not much air sound at all, the whining might be the straining of the motor despite the lack of air flow. Change out the filters and see if it improves.
And if that doesn't work?
The sound might be the noise generated as the vacuum works on the carpet. See if it is the normal range or changes as you move to different types of flooring.
It's consistent for the carpet.
Try changing the brush level or head setting. It might be so high above the carpet fibers you don't get a good clean and get a high pitched air flow whine instead.
Then I need to change it to a lower setting on the height adjustment.
That's the easiest thing to check, but a dirty vacuum is the more likely culprit.
So clean the vacuum and check the settings to make sure it can clean the floors.
Check the vacuum bag, too. If there's a big dust bunny in there blocking air flow, you'll hear a high pitched whine from it.
I'd hate to think that the whine is the death knell of a zombie dust bunny, rising from the grave to choke the vacuum meant to kill it.
Pretty meta, isn't it?

Well, we finished all the possibilities and it still screams! I detached the wand and power head and it still screams. The filters are clean and it still screams. It has to do with the motor. What can I do?

I have a proscenic 790T and despite perfect cleaning of vacuum, brushes and all, it is still making unusual higher pitch noise? what can i do. I've been having it only for one year!

I happened to just come onto this page and saw your dilemma. I can help you as this problem will happen if you are using a generic bag and not the original brand for the machine. I have a Bosch vacuum and started to use a brand that was cheaper and not Bosch which is costly. The cheap brand will whistle its head off, so either put up with it or change back to the brand bag for your cleaner. Hope that helps!

Mine was making a high pitched noise and it was a moter armature burning up. I'm having to replace the motor.

Lol thank you for helping me fix my vacuum and making it clear and funny to understand what could be causing the high pitch noise. =)

[@DaveintheD-p4s]
