Knocking sound when starting and ending spin cycle

Hi fixers,
I've got a Bosch VarioPerfect Serie 4 washing machine that has started knocking loudly when the machine is ratcheting up or down from the spin cycle. The spin still works and the machine doesn't excessively wobble or move around. It'll knock very loudly, very quickly (3 knocks per second maybe) for 20-40 seconds when working up to the spin cycle, then it'll stop, then start again when the spin cycle winds down. During the normal wash cycle, it works perfectly. Whisper quiet.

I found a manual online but it didn't have any useful info. And I haven't cracked the machine open yet, so I can't say what's going on inside at this point. This will be my first time dissecting something larger and more essential for living than a sewing machine, so any insights are appreciated.
