Drum support wheels may be suspect. Something caught in one of the drum
seals.

It is usually best to replace the item that is making the noise,
lubrication ( esp a grease ) can attract dust and cause other problems.

Vent system going outside should be cleaned out once a year, inside of
the dryer should be vacuumed out every 2-5 years depending on the
dryers useage time.
