is it always when the machine is turning?
does it sound linked to movement of the drum?
and does it do it if you turn the drum by hand?
let me know and if i can i will help you to diagnose your fault

Thanks for the reply. Some of this is in my original post, but to clarify:
Yes, I think it makes the noise at some stage in every cycle, but only when the machine is turning, and only in the spin phases as described above. (Originally it only occurred when it was slowing down from spinning, including from the “warm-up” spins.)
Yes, it does seem to be linked to the movement of the drum (but only in the spin phases, not otherwise), and no, I can’t reproduce it by turning the drum by hand.
We did wonder if it might have been worse with a large and/or slightly unbalanced load, but we recently ran it empty to clear limescale etc, and the noise was just the same.
