A loud buzzing noise has developed over the past
12 months. The motor is not overheating, nor are
the bearings.

Is this serious?

Some of these motors are bolted together. Tighten the bolts if you can reach them. Then, as noted, the coils can work loose from the laminations. Varnish, or thin Super Glue might work for that.
