Expected noise?

Just finished assembling the kit, completed the calibrations and decided to print the whistle from the SD card. This is my first 3d printer so hard to tell what is normal or not. I noticed that when printing the circular part of the whistle, the printer was making some "rather unexpected" noises. I recorded it with my iphone hoping to capture the noise.

Here is the video: . Is the noise, besides the ones coming from the fans, expected or did I make some mistake during the assembly? You might need to increase the sound to hear it in the recording. In person it was easy to hear it.

Thanks for your help.

Re: Expected noise?

This mk3 is my first printer as well. I hope that noise is normal, sounds just like mine.

steppers like to sing 🙂

older printers/drivers are 10x worse. put it in stealth mode and they're inaudible.
