Is it hooked up to a GFCI? I think I would stop using it. Sounds electrical!!!

It. Is connected to a gfci waterproof powerstrip. It stopped making the poppingy noise and now the very annoying filter rumble.

sounds like the motor blew I had another brand filter and that noise happened when the motor blew apart. I would honestly start there and see what happens

The filter is running the water is moving and there's no airstone or anything

If there's no air bubbles then I would say the motor it can go bad and still be pumping water it could be on the verge of blowing apart that's the only times I've heard that noise being described
