Is this sound normal??

Hi Everyone,

Glad to finally be assembling my Prusa i3 MK2S. I have not been able to find any posts or videos showing what a normal y-slider should sound like once assembled. With all of the caution given to securing the bearings, I can't image they would have been damaged. Is this how the assembly should sound when sliding?

All three bearings are in the correct orientation and the rods are exactly 178.0mm apart. It didn't have this sound/ resistance when doing the gravity test, prior to connecting the y-motor and belt. So this may be the typical sound that is generated from these parts being connected, just wanted to check in with the community.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

sounds like the belt and motor to me which is normal , same noise on mine.
if you want to test just the bearings and slide remove the belt and see if it has a lot of drag to it, if not then it should be fine.
