Mazzer Robur E vibration / sound

Ive got a Robur E that sees on average 1.5 shots / day. Ive had it for about a 1.5 years. - I go thru maybe 1/2 lb of coffee per week. About a month ago I noticed it was making a louder vibration noise than usual. It lasted about a week and the louder noise subsided.
