MK4 Nextruder makes squeaking noise while printing

Hey all,

Two days ago my 2-month old MK4 started squeaking; first it began only while moving along the X-Axis then Yesterday(May 31st) ti started for both X & Y.  I print with PETG and PLA and it does it for both filament types. I am currently using the eSun brand or filament

What I have tried:

1. Raising the Z while printing => That did not fix the issue

2. Loosening the Idler nuts => That did not fix the issue

3. Tightening the Idler nuts => That did not fix the issue but it got past mostly through the first layer without squeaking.

4. Check if any parts a rubbing somewhere => No joy there either

5: I saw the post titled: `Horrible squeaking developed after 6 days of perfectly silent printing` and thought I needed to print new parts. I inspected those parts and the look well-printed. Better than most of the other parts  😆. Since my printer is only two month old and the parts are well printed I don't think that is my issue.

Can someone help me out here?

Quick update: I switched to some old Polymaker PolyPlus PLA (Over 2 years old) and successfully printed a 3h 27min print with no squeaking 🤔 . I think this eSun brand should not be my goTo. I will try another print and resolve this if I still get no squeaking
