What the symptom can mean
A sound that follows each rotation may involve contact or a moving component, while a steady sound may have a different source. The rhythm helps assessment but cannot prove bearing or drum damage.
Describe a sequence already heard
Say whether the sound followed each turn, occurred only in one direction or continued while the drum paused. Include the load from that occasion. A recording already made can support the description if it contains no private conversations.
Keep locations separate
A scrape from the drum area, a loose cabinet panel and a sound from an adjoining appliance can be confused. Explain where the sound seemed strongest and whether the washer's performance changed with it.
