I have heard that scratchy sound before. It's either something wrong with the voice coil or you're playing WAAAAY too loud. See if you can stand close and identify which driver the noise is coming from, then give Axiom a call.

I bet you'll find the noise comes from just one of the midrange/woofer drivers, making it easy to fix.
