Friction sound when moving z axis / print bed

After the assembly everything was smooth and silent, but after a couple of prints the z axis makes loud friction sounds when moving the print bed up and down. When inspecting the printer nothing seems obviously broken or not working properly. What could be the reason for the strange sound and any solutions thinkable?

Thanks

Did you lubricate the z axis screws during the assembly.  I missed this step on mine and noticed a noise.  I looked back and noticed I missed the lube step.

Actually I can't remember if I did it but I lubricated all vertical axis now and the noise is gone. It definitely was related to this.
