A common problem for all kinds of turnables. To find out for sure, listen with headphones. If you no longer hear the roar though phones, it's acoustic feedback. If you don't have phones handy, you can also try reducing the bass control on your preamp/receiver to see if it goes away.A couple of fixes are to put your turntable on a wall-mounted shelf, or put a subsonic filter in the signal path.
I have a switchable subsonic filter on my preamp & it totally fixes the problem with no audible degradation to the sound. That's probably the easiest fix.
Great looking turntable, by the way!
Cheers & good luck!
