have a fluvall 305 that started making noise close this about 6 months after I bought it. searched online and found that using vasaline on the impeller shaft works, so I went for it and it works like I just bought the thing.

Usually happens after you turn it off, you should fill it with water when it's turned off so when you turn it back on the water will flow quicker.
-
the rattling noise is from the LID of the filter.
Just remove the lid.

@kelly51698 Sorry for the very belated respond. In my case, I have a planted tank, which means lots of debris coming out of the melted plants. Adjusting everything -- as I suggested, won't help much, as the blades then kept nudged by the hundreds of tiny dead plants bits. So I put lots of sponge, virtually maximising the whole area of canister, therefore the incoming water that comes with that tiny stuffs are barred to reaching the blades.

get a aqueon filter I use it on my Oscar tank and it works perfectly and it is much more quiet than that

@calpicox Mine is doing the same thing and when I tried to adjust things firmly, the impeller stopped spinning. If I try to put it in too lightly then it bounces around and makes this noise. I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas?
-
you put something incorrectly. Happened to me.... just adjust everything firmly.

My brand new one started making this sound. *Unplug and drain in bucket. Unscrew pump. Reach in and grab plastic propeller as it's part of a magnetic propeller. Inside of the pump and cord run a qtip all around. I held the pump upside down to ensure little grainails fall out. Clean off the part with the propeller. Take off the propeller. Grab a straw or compressor and blow out the inside of the magnet. Rinse only the small part and hole. I reassembled and wala.
