"Honking" X (or Y or Z) Axis

Hello,

One of my axis when doing sudden (or so it appears) movements has started recently making a loud "honking" noise. It isn't constant with all movements, but often enough to be disturbing. Oddly enough, it doesn't happen in stealth mode.....

Any ideas?

Thanks,

--Phil

Hi Phil,
Have you checked everything is tightened,
is the Y motor rattling against the frame?  
does the Y axis move smoothly? 
If it's honking and you put a finger on the build plate, does the noise stop? 

If you slow the feed rate, does the noise stop? 
regards Joan
