Bosch SHU9915uc/u12. Makes loud noise three seperate times during operation. Turning off power does not stop sound. Turning off water supply valve does. I cleaned inlet valve but no change. Diagnostic test shows 2 blinking lights normal wash and delicate cycle. What is wrong?

I have a possible answer to your diagnostic test, see below, if this doesn't help, let me know, and I will provide more help!

To start test program, press and hold both POWER SCRUB PLUS and REGULAR WASH program buttons, then turn unit on by pressing ON/OFF button. When program buttons are released, lights above them will flash. To end test program, press ON/OFF button.
To check program indicator lights (POWER SCRUB PLUS, SCRUB WASH, REGULAR WASH and RINSE & HOLD), press and hold each program button. When SCRUB WASH program button is pressed, CLEAN light also comes on andan audible tone (?beep?) also occurs.
To start testing, press both POWER SCRUB PLUS and REGULAR WASH buttons a second time. When testing has ended and a fault was detected, the following indicator lights will be lit:
POWER SCRUB PLUS = Heater fault
SCRUB WASH = Water filling fault (over or under filling)
REGULAR WASH = NTC (temperature sensor) fault ? note circulation motor stops shortly after it started during an NTC fault
To check for heater, high limit or flow switch problems, start testing until heating starts. Using a meter with a current coil, measure current going into dishwasher. If current is ~ 11 A, then heater, high limit and flow switch are OK. If current stays at ~ 1.5-2 A, then heater, high limit or flow switch are faulty.
If water level switch (f1) has failed (opened), SCRUB WASH light will come on and unit will continually fill and drain where testing won't be completed. If flow switch (e5) has failed (opened), water won't heat (to 150?F) and water won?t stop circulating. If NTC probe (f2/f4) has failed (opened), REGULAR WASH light will come on immediately and testing will end shortly after water has started circulating.
If more than one fault occurs, more than one light will be lit.
Also, could you describe the loud noise? Pitch, duration, what it sounds similar to...etc.
Thanks
My first thought without knowing what the sound is like, is to believe that the water pressure has changed slightly, to cause this "problem".
Is the noise only there while the dishwasher is filling? If yes, then be sure that your water main valve to the house is fully open. What is the age of the water heater for the house. Does the water pressure at the sink or other locations seem to have changed around the time that you first noticed the noise?
At my house, when the shower upstairs is turned on, while other HOT water is being used elsewhere in the house, I always hear a slight noise thru the pipes that is a high pitched whine.
Let me know...
For my info...
Are you in the USA? Does the unit run, but, you want to figure out the noise and code? Does water fill up into the basin at bottom of unit? Any other symptoms?
This will help further confirm your problem!

Sound is a low pitched one. It has a cavitating quality similar to a garbage disposal. when the water valve (a ball valve) is closed the pitch rises very quickly to a high pitched tone and then stops. If the high pitched sound soes not happen the condition starts again as soon as the valve is opened. When the high pitch sound occurs the problem does not start again when the valve is opened until later in the cycle.
The test program resulted in the Normal wash light and the delicate wash light to come on when the test was completed. There is no scrub wash cycle on this model. Are the test results the same?
