I have a century pump that suddenly started making this buzzing sound.
Anyway I can post a short video here?

I noticed it from one day to the next we had temps that went down to 24 degrees overnight and ofcourse that afternoon I had finally set the pump timer on its schedule not realizing the temps were going to drop that low. I’m guess maybe something slightly froze over night in the pump and when it went to start the next day it caused this issue?

If you have a video saved to a 3rd party site (i.e. YouTube) you should be able to post a link for us to watch. Is the buzzing only at start-up or continuous? Not sure if it's the pic, but the label is hard to read. Is this an old motor? If you aren't sure, perhaps to try take another pic that we can read of the motor label.
 
I just stopped at Leslie’s pool where I bought it from. He said it sounds like a bearing noise. Here’s a closer pic. Not sure if I should purchase another century $350 or wait. It’s I think maybe 3 or 4 yrs old
