Prusa bleeps and chirps (R2D2 young cousin?)
Hi guys, hopefully this is a stupid question, because it isn't, I might have a problem.
My Prusa is not very noisy, but when it's outlining the contour of every layer it produces the weirdest sound. It sounds a lot like R2D2's chirps and bleeps, like it's singing almost (I don't know if I'm describing this very well, if not, I'll try to make a video in the next couple of days).
It's only doing this when it's making a wall contour, when it's printing the infill I just get mechanical nosies from the moving components.
I've watched numerous videos of Prusa's printing and have noticed this in just a few more, but in these types of videos people are usually talking over it so the printer sounds are not so clear to hear so I don't know if this is at all normal.

Mine does the same, its probably "The Prusa song" from the steppers.

Hahaha thanks, now that I know of the Prusa song, I see people are making G codes that actually play different tunes. I was worried that I might be the steppers overdloading, but it seems to be just a multitalented printer.

It is odd isn't it? My CTC Bizer made the same kinds of sounds when printing especially when maneuvering in large circles or in a diagonal direction. My MK2 makes the exact same sounds. I have not tested to see if they sound exactly alike during the same movements, but they do sound just alike.
