    HF Dust Collector motor making noise now

    I've had the HF dust collector for about 7 months now with no issues. Went out to the shop yesterday to work and fired it up and it started making a vibration/resonant sound. It didn't sound like the impeller was hitting anything or scraping but there's a vibration coming from the motor. I've tightened down every bolt I see, but can't quite figure it out. I've recorded it here:

    Has anyone experienced this before? Trying to see if there's an easy solution before I have to figure out who to go through for the warranty.

    I removed the side panel to get access to the impeller and it is definitely on their securely. I believe it's the bearing inside that's causing the issue:
