I would pull the impeller. If that doesn't work, take it back to the store you bought it at.

this had happend to me once and the cause was the filter pads needed to be replaced. It was clogged. Check that hope it works out for you..
 
i bouth it off ebay from a guy who owns a chain of pet stores in my area so I paid for it at one of his stores...How do i get into the impellor???
 
i cleaned the impellor and it started up but its not quiet like it was, so it is working now..ill have to try it agian when im not so Pissed off....thnx gents!!
 
When it works all of the air out, it will be quiet again. Let us know how it goes.
 
Also, did you seat the impeller properly? Sometimes in canister filters, as well as powerheads, if the impeller isn't seated properly, it can be noisy. What does the noise sound like? Air, or a mechanical noise?
