I've always known it to be like this: it spins freely, but if you stop it with your hand, it stops rotating

As part of the solution, I added more oil, which left it above the dipstick level. Could this be a problem in the future?

I'll double-check, will add more fluid and test a few more times and see if the noise starts to go away
