Why is garbage disposal noisy?

I assume you mean when it is actually grinding up waste. These things have large motors (up to one-half horsepower) mounted under your sink to rotate blades into various kinds of waste. They run quite quietly with no solids in the grinding chamber, but they can make a fair racket while ripping into various solids.

If your unit is noisy all the time, it may be time to look at replacing it. As far as I know,

no one services worn out units- the labour would be far more than the replacement cost.

One other thing- the manufacturers are trying to get the term "food waste disposer" into common usage. The old term "garbage disposal" has caused a lot of problems with people putting all kinds things into them. Some items have caused jamming and other damage and myriads of customer complaints when the units won't grind up wood, metal, etc.
