sorry to jump in on your post aaron, but question, would a bendy metal pipe unblocker work to clean the hoses, i always just flush em through with boiling water normally but they are starting to get nasty again and are due for a clean.

Almost certainly an airlock.

Unless you've taken the impeller out for some reason before hand, I doubt it.
As Graham says, sounds like an air lock. Both my exturnals get air locks from time to time, a gentle shake, a hiss and a gurgle later, the air comes out, and the filters go back to being quiet.

Rattling is usually caused by air bubbles in the impeller chamber, turning it upside down usually clears this.
