Hi,I've never experienced anything like this, and I also have the stock Horizon. It sounds as though something somewhere (at the arm base perhaps?) might be rubbing against the spinning platter.
Another consideration is that Nottingham don't advise tightening up the arm mounting bolts too much. Ideally, the two hex bolts that secure the arm should be just tight enough to hold it at the right height. I have met set so that the arm can be swivelled in its mounting if you twist it, but doesn't move in normal use. The two bolts on the top of the silver arm mounting shouldn't be overtightened either.
It would be worth checking that the main bearing has the right amount of oil and that the motor is adjusted to the correct height. Other than these ideas, one is driven to suspect a fault - perhaps someone adjusted the motor by pushing down on the pulley (ouch!), or it was damaged on its way to you. See the Nottingham Dealer Manual on the ASL Group site, and their FAQs page.
HTH,
Mark
