Question VTSC Noise!

I only have about 2k miles on my VTSC. And it sounds like the bearing is going already. I put a stethascope up to the bearing housing and that is the loudest part. It is a pulsating grinding/rattling sound. Has anyone experienced this before. Either the sound or the sh**y blower in 2k miles? I am so upset!
