I have a Whirlpool WTW5500SQ2 that recently started making a noise on the spin cycle. The noise goes away when I press on the top of the machine. The machine is level both directions when measuring the top of the unit, but it also started walking a bit on fast spins. Below is a recording I made with two dryer balls spinning to enhance the noise. You can hear the noise stop when I press the top of the machine. Thanks for any help.

Just an update in case anyone with the same problem comes across this post in the future...

It turned out to be worn snubber pads. One was so worn that it was completely gone and I had metal rubbing against metal. New pads were $20 and fairly easy to install. My WP now purrs like a kitten and I'm super happy to have solved my problem!
