    Do you have a basket in the skimmer? water level in pool a little low. Pump is moving more water than the skimmer has availabel in it. if anything i would try adding some water to the pool, an inch or so.

    Check the weir door in the skimmer. Sometimes they get stuck and will create a sucking sound.
