Z Axis Noise
The following video is not from me but is the exact same noise I am having.
I get that same noise when lowering my z axis and sometimes that same noise when raising the z axis though it is usually towards the top. I am just wondering if this sound is expected or indicative of something being off.

Sounds like the spool holder and spool ... or the LCD and the bezel... or the sheet and bed interface... or the plastic case for the Einsy... or the extruder fans... or ....
Sounds are impossible to diagnose unless in front of the printer. Use your finger or a tool to press around and see what makes the noise go away.

How old is the printer? I replaced my bearings and rods. Much quieter now, but mine sounded much different.

Brand new. I just assembled it over the weekend.

I was able to reduce to the noise considerably by adding a small printed damper at the top of box threaded z axis bars and playing around with the trapezoid tightness on either side. There are still some a small section that shortly rings that vibration sound but still VERY MUCH improved following that advice.
