I am not familiar with that model. I am assuming it is a aquarium filter. If you are plugging it in without having water in it will make a lot of noise.

Possible pump coupler. Just time and pictures for clean/assembly lol. Couplers are cheap

I've used fluval filters for a long time, including the 403. I've never replaced an impeller unless it was broken.
Define loud. Are you running it dry?

Cleaning it is easy, just wash everything out with hot water. The impeller will be loud when it is not pushing water. That's actually considered normal.
