Brush bar is extremely noisy

If I use the telescope handle, it works fine but when I want to vacuum the floor and I turn on the brush bar, it's extremely loud; like it's screaming.

If your Dyson vacuum is emitting an unusual smell, see the Dyson Ball Animal Emits Unusual Smell or Noise problem page for possible causes and solutions.

No guarantees, but mine was producing a loud screeching noise also.

I removed the brush bar and cleaned the ends where it contacted/mounts in the head.

I then used petroleum jelly (very, very lightly so as not to create a gunky mess) around these contact points where there is a lot of friction.

Hi, Mikey.

My V10's brushbar was making BRRRT noises while ON. I tried cleaning and disassembling, but that didn't work.

Your lubricant idea seems to have resolved this issue! I used dielectric grease rather than petroleum jelly.

Thank you so much for the idea! Indeed, the noise was caused by the friction and contact the parts were making with each other.
