MK3 kit makes weird grinding noise

Attention wizards, I am in dire need of help!
My (somewhat) freshly assembled kit works fine in the sense that it produces excellent prints, but recently (a month after assembly) it has started to make a weird grinding noise when printing. I can't for the life of me determine whats causing it and I'm now taking my chances here. The first thing that comes to mind is of course the Y-carriage but I'd like some second (hopefully tertiary and beyond) opinion.

Here is a video demonstrating it, please ignore my finger which accidentally covers the lense in the end.

Noise levels are at a normal 55-60 dB except for the intermittent grinding which peaks at 70-75 dB.

All help appreciated!

Re: MK3 kit makes weird grinding noise

sounds like some bearing noise is being resonated from the surface its sitting on. sometimes increasing or decreasing speed slightly can help get rid of whatever natural resonance is going on.
