What is causing my Dyson DC02 vacumm cleaner to make a dreadful noise?

My DC02 cleaner has started to make a dreadful high pitched noise - it starts after about 3 minutes use and then doesnt' stop until you switch off and put away. It is about 10 years old, the filters have been replaced recently and otherwise have had no problems with it at all. Any ideas?
