Click Noise on Retractions ( not skipping... just faint click)

Is this retraction noise normal..i jsut noticed it on a model that requires a lot of retractions... https://drive.google.com/open?id=1a7vmKZHTTbr5arWghdcMW4rjHxQMP50x

Probably the springs that tension the extruder gear side lid. If you watch the side that swings open you will see it moves in and out slightly are the extruder feeds and retracts. It sounds like a spring pinging

it didn't sound that bad, do you think it could be from the nozzle rubbing the print abit? ive had a few times when odd noises came from that. I think after I calibrated the extrusion multiplier my noise got better. I still get one with heavy retractions. but all seems to work fine still

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.
