I have this incredibly loud noise coming from my Y-axis. It doesn't affect print quality, but it is horrible to listen to and really loud. It is present when the Y-axis moves at ~100mm/s and gets worse/louder as speed increases.

How can I mitigate this? There doesn't seem to be any mechanical issues when I move the bed by hand, it is smooth and easy to move.

My Anycubic does the same and i read from more people having this problem. You can losen the tension of the belt with the red screw infront of the printer. This fixed it for me.

Hmm...the belt is already pretty loose, but I guess I can give it a shot

Maybe too loose? Should be tightened completely and then one 360 degree turn
