The stirrer is a metal blade that distributes the microwaves energy by rotating. This action is what causes your food to cook evenly. After years of use, the stirrer motor becomes worn and emits a grinding noise. You will need to replace the motor to eliminate this unnerving sound from infiltrating your kitchen.
If it’s doing it when off. it has become dangerous. Personally I would replace it.

Hi,
What is the model number of the microwave oven?
Is anything still operating when it is not being used e.g. the fan or the turntable?
Does it stop if you open the door of the oven?
