I have this exact same issue.  Guessing it’s coming hear the idler but can’t tell exactly since the thing is moving!

I can't see your video for some reason... but I had a creaking noise as the print head was near the back. I played with the X+Y movement without printing and discovered the filament sensor cable on the right side was bulging out and getting rubbed by the right bearing about 3/4 of the way back. Take a peek there?

It didn't play for me in browser - but it did download and I could play it from there.

followed your advice and tucked some wires in that popped out.  Printing all nice and quietly this morning.  

thanks for the advice!

RE: Creaking noise in the print head

sounds for me there is something between rail and the wagon. maybe dust of filament or so. Do you have cleaning and oiling the rails? maybe this helps. or one of the pulleys is grinding.

Hi,

I'm new to 3D printing and Prusa devices. Since this morning I have an additional creaking noise when the print head moves. See the attached video. Does someone has an idea what could possibly produce that noise? It is like plastic is rubbing on something.

Help is much appreaciated. Thanks!
