Water Heater Noise

Never heard before.
When drawing hot water a screeching noise comes from the area of the water heater. Any Thoughts as to why this is occurring?
Note: It is NOT the heating element
Thank You

Check valve on the outlet side of the heater will make that noise when water flows through it at times.
