Beogram 5000 side noise

Hi!

I recently bought a Beogram 5000 - my long lasted search for a Bang & Olufsen turntable had finally ended. The  turntable works fine, but. When the platter spins, it makes a rather funny noise; I don't know how to explain the sound as english isn't my first language, but it resembles whirring of some sort. I took the turntable back to the store and they checked it. They made the whirring go more quiet by lubricating the motor but I can still hear it even thou I would sit two meters away from the turntable. 

So my question is, is this normal and if it's not, what can I do to get the whirring away. I know that a turntable shich is belt operated makes little sound, but it shouldn't be that loud that you hear it to your listening positiong, right?

All help is appreciated! Thank you!

It should not make any noise. Could be belt, motor, height adjustment, transport screws tightened, an obstruction, for starters.

If the seller or someone else put a too tight belt in, the motor could be damaged and noisy.

At higher volumes, sounds from the table will noticeably distort your music.

I agree with what Peter suggests; Bad motor bearings or brushes.
Try spinning the motor by hand (unpowered and without belt).

Hi I have a Beogram 3300 which sounds like the platter is catching the frame, works fine without platter

you mentioned height adjustment, how do you adjust that?

thanks
