Quite a common fault. Typically the head unit gets dry and makes a whirring noise. Perhaps try oiling the cable and maybe a bit of oil in the head drive before investigating further.

That's all it will be as Fungo said above the noise can get very loud and is quite frightning when you first hear it

My Speedo cable does it , I unthread the cable , pull it down from the clock and spray some WD-40 up into the drive where cable goes, seem to work ok, 👍
