Squeaky sound with Prusament PLA

Hello everyone!

Recently I've bought my prusa MK3S kit and carefully assmbled it. The printer passed all the tests and seems to print as it should (it maybe has some inconsistent extrusion and some "salmon skin" effect).

The strange thing is that when I'm using the Silver Prusament PLA (the one the came with the printer) I hear a lot of squeaking sound coming from the extruder.

If I use another filament, I've tried with a cheap one lying around (Tianse branded), the sound disappear.

Obiviously I've checked the proper gears alignment with the filament. I've tried to adjust the idler tension too following the official Prusa video but since my gear is loading filament even with the lid open I've tightned it just a little bit.

Here's some pics of my extruder and the first test prints I've made.

Do I have to worry?
Is there something else I could try?

Thank you in advance
