Is this sound my Mini+ is making normal (also self-test help)?

I'm not sure whether I should worry, but this sound my Prusa Mini+ is making seems weird. I've noticed that it usually happens when printing diagonal lines or supports. I've tried lubing the bearings more, but it still happens.

While I'm already here, the self-test fails at X-axis, but so far everything is printing normally. Can I disregard the self-test then?

My printer has never made a noise like that, and I don't think it's normal at all. Does it make weird noises when you move the x or y axis by hand?

If it’s failing a test and making that noise, I’d definitely contact support.

I figured out the sound was due to the Y-axis belt not being properly adjusted. After some adjusting, I did some test prints and the sound didn't occur during any of them.

The X-axis still fails during the self-test, but I don't have any issues when printing so it's currently not a priority to figure that out.

Lower the tension from the X belt.
