Can anybody tell me why my sewage pump is so loud. Check out video

 
Is the water draining/ejecting from the pit? Check the one way check valve might be blocked up. Let us know how it goes.
 
i took the pump out today. found a small piece of plastic at the bottom of the pump impeller. here is what it sounds like now

 
Sounds good now.

But where did that piece of plastic come from?
Was it something flushed down the toilet?
Or part of the check valve?
Maybe just some junk dropped in there during pump installation?

Meanwhile, the check valve looks to be closing after the pump cycle, so all seems well for now.
