More often that not you probally had a leaking seal and the water is causing the bearing to rust and make noise. At this point you will need to have the motor rebearingd or get a new motor. depending on the age and condition of the one you have.
Check to see that the pool pumps mounting is secure. Loose mounting could cause the motor to run loudly. It could be bearings rubbing or a bent shaft. If it is new, this should not have happened. If you check the mounting and feel that it is secure, I would return the pump to an authorized Waterway service agent and let them look to see if the bearings or shaft are damaged. I would do this quickly while you can still return the pump if its defective.
