Help Diagnose MK3S+ Groaning Noise At Specific Bed Location
Good Morning,
Recently picked up my first 3d printer secondhand which had ~20 days of printing on it. I've put 3 more print days on in the past month. The previous owner lubricated the printer and updated the firmware when I purchased it.
On my most recent print, I noticed a "groaning" sound when the printer passes the same X,Y location as you can see in this video at 00:15 and 00:27. I ran a belt tension test and both the X,Y are within range and as far as I can tell my prints are unaffected. Trying to isolate the sound by ear, my best guess is that it is emanating from the front Y axis idler but I'm looking for further suggestions.
Is this sound expected and acceptable? Or should I investigate further to ensure the printer continues running optimally? Thanks so much in advance, this community has been great for learning thus far!

Got a second set of ears involved and they pointed right to the adjustable belt holder on the Y axis as the source of the sound. Turns out the belt holder screw was loose, 3 second fix.
