Very annoying sound (possible rubbing or just Y-Axis problems?)

When the printer is moving the Y-axis there’s a horrible rubbing noise that happens. I’ve tried all kinds of things to prevent this, such as increasing the Z-axis displacement, recalibrating and also calibrating the extruder.

Please help. The sound is incredibly annoying.

Thanks,

Is this some kind of joke? All the sounds sound wonderful and exactly at the moment when it starts to sound a little unusual, the video breaks off. If the nozzle makes different types of infill sound like a musical instrument by “pinging” them, then that’s fine, as long as the print quality is also fine!

I had no idea how to describe it but this is most certainly not meant to happen. I realize the sound of the motors is quite loud in the video.

Here’s a point at which you can 100% hear the rubbing.

I’ve found that a tiny bit of WD-40 sorted the problem and solved a few printing issues I was having too. I’m going to get some lithium grease to lubricate it with in a few days.

Thanks,
Greg
