Observe where the noise is coming from and try to shut it down for about few minutes or hours then try to start it again and observe if it’s still the same. Hope that helps.

This noise is usually caused by a build up of mineral deposits. This condition shortens the life span of your water heater. The hot water tank should be drained and flushed periodically, otherwise the sediment will continue to accumulate and possibly clog the drain valve. Regular maintenance will extend the life of your water heater.
