Several possibilities for noise. check concrete balance wieghts at top and bottom of washer, make sure they are not loose.
Check drum restraint spring(s) are not broken.
Check suspension legs for wear.
Check for loose motor fixings.
Finally, remove drum belt, and spin drum by hand, tjhere should be noise from bearings, if it feels rough or is rumbling , then main bearings have failed.
Please rate my comments.
Thanks.

My LG inverter direct drive washer is making loud banging sounds when sensing the loud, is the drum off track

The drum may need to be replaced inside of the washing machine. The washing machine is making a loud noise while spinning then especially if it is either a clanking or scratching sound then there is some type of foreign material that could of had have gone into your washer's filter inside the rubber seal or is simply spinning around inside of it's the drum.

Very loud banging noise when spinning

sounds like a balance problem may be when the drum was replaced they didn't fit the new drum in the correct spot the other thing that would cause load banging and excessive vibrations in the machine is if the shockers are worn out,
believe it our not even washing machines have shockers to dampen the movement of the drum spinning
