Check the isolation of the motor windings. Should be in the mage-ohms (you need an isolation tester / high voltage ohm meter for this). Check the voltage when the compressor is running. If the voltage drop significantly when the compressor starts/runs, you have a bad connection somewhere.
[pdf] Rotor clearance issues or debris can lead to metallic contact sounds Loose or worn belts squeal or howl, especially under load Airflow pulsations, valve leaks, or turbulence create hissing or whistling Bolts, nuts, and mounting pads loosen over time, amplifying noise
[pdf] To connect two compressors in parallel, follow these steps: Make sure both compressors have the same voltage and phase. Install a check valve on each compressor’s discharge line to prevent backflow. Install a tee fitting on each compressor’s discharge line. Connect the two tee fittings with a pipe..

The Short Answer: The basic process involves setting up a single pressure switch system linking both compressors, using a check valve to prevent air backflow, and using suitable hoses or pipes.
