You could try and manually help the tape release by pulling "very slightly" just at the point where the mechanism is making the noise, as there is a possibility that the cassette has stuck for some reason.
Have you tried rewinding the tape both ways before trying to eject it?
Also isn't there an error code number showing on the LCD? like for example E-02 or 03?
Main point to remember is do "not" force the tape release, as it can cause severe damage to the mechanism and something not easily repaired.
