My SEBO Pet vacuum makes a “screaming” sound when I take the main attachment off of the hose. It is absolutely fine when the long attachment is on and I’m vacuuming the floor for example, but if I use the hose on its own or with the small attachments, it makes a horrible sound until I put my hand over the end of it. What could be causing this? No obvious blockages, the bag isn’t full and the filter isn’t particularly blocked
Remove the hose from the bag housing by pinching the retaining ring that attaches the hose to the machine. Turn the vacuum on with the hose removed. If the sound persists, the sound is coming from the hose itself. Hold the hose, letting it hang towards the ground. Look through the hose to see if anything is lodged. A scream or whistle can be caused by a paperclip, bobby pin, toothpick, or paper fragment stuck in the hose. You could also have a small tear or hole in the hose material, so carefully inspect the hose for cracks or holes.
