Why does my washing machine sound like I'm hosting a rave?

I'm very serious, it's a 2 year old Bosch washer drier and it makes the most incredible thumping sound.
It's not enough of a problem to call an engineer, but I do worry what the neighbours might think.
How can I stop it please?

Is it perfectly level?

Is it banging againsta cupboard? A screw could have come loose or there could be a hole in the spider mechanism.

check the feet? There are four adjustable feet on most machines that you can screw in and out. If one's not even then your machine will rock and roll at high speed. tchno techno techno techno.....

I got anti-vibration thingies from Lakeland which have calmed down my machine - you can now almost be in the same room when it's on full spin without going into orbit.

LOL at 'techno techno techno techno'
Thats just how it sounds!

I think an uneven floor might be the problem, we are having lots of work done at the minute and the kitchen is half tiles, half original floorboards, and the floorboards are very uneven.
