After it had fired up and ran for a couple of minutes I heard a noise, sort of like rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I isolated the noise to the mag (could feel little vibration in the mag housing when it was making the noise). It will do it for 30 seconds and then not for a minute or two and then do it again.
