My first step would-be to clean the stylus dipping it gently into a Magic Eraser 2-3 times and then brushing it off with a stylus brush (gobs of info as to how to do it safely in the A'Gon forums).
If doing so is not a remedy then go from there.
What you describe is the typical sound a caked/dirty stylus/needle.
