On a DC17 it is common for the bristles of the brush roll to become worn or missing. If the brush roll isn't doing a good job it will not pick up even light stuff like hair and lint. Check your brushroll and replace it and the belt if it is worn.
If suction is not what it was, check all of your hoses and connections for vacuum leaks. And the beater roll should always be turning - check out the belt for slippage.

can any one help,
Our Dyson Animal vacuum has plenty of suction when it is upright and
the attachments are being used off the hose, but when the handle is
tipped back to begin cleaning carpets the beater head is getting no
suction. As the handle is being tipped back you can hear what sounds
like a flapper valve in the body of the vacuum opening and then all the
suction just goes away.

I have finally fixed my sister's dyson dc 15 beater bar problem. It was just 2 tiny broken wires connect to circuit board lead to the beater bar. The wires broke where they go through the black rubber gommet. You need a torx screwdriver tx 15 to remove 2 plastic covers to access the wires. When looking at the front of the vacuum, the gray covers located on the right side of the vacuum. 1 big cover with a black rubber gasket and other small gray cover is on the rotating ball area.
This my new year resolution is to warn people not to buy Dyson vacuum cleaner ( Junk) design to break down! Shame on you Dyson!!!! Save your money find good old vacuum cleaner with metal parts.
OLD IS IN NEW IS JUNK!
Happy New Year!

SOURCE: Dyson making loud noise
If your brushroller isn't spinning it will make the loud sound. Try removing the brushroll and reinstalling it. If this doesn't work, you may need a new brushroller.You can find one here...
