Just to isolate the problem a bit, try removing the turntable plate and roller ring from the oven and then place a microwave oven safe cup, nearly full of water in the oven and turn it on for about 5-10 seconds and check for any noise.
''If there's no noise'' then check that there are no flat spots on any of the rollers on the ring that supports the turntable as it turns and also that the roller track on the bottom of the oven is clean and smooth to the touch all the way around.

''If the noise is still there'' then it may be the turntable motor or the fan as all the rest of the parts, are non moving parts and usually electrical problems are a different sound than a jackhammer sound.

What is the full model number of the microwave oven? Knowing this makes it easier to link the correct parts if any are required.
