If it has the same problem our UM2 has (almost new machine) - the Z axis bearings bind\stick - the grinding sound would be the motor struggling and failing to step.

Hi @lukem96,
You don't happen to have a recording of the sound?
I am guessing something held down your bed and your motor was skipping steps.
It can sound intimidating, but is pretty harmless.
Is there an obstruction?
Can you manually move it up and down?
