Have you tried to isolate **where** the sound is coming from? It may be the filament rubbing on part of the printer itself.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-12-29)

Newly built Ender 6 printer makes a loud whine or beep for every retraction, print quality not affected, but is very annoying and louder than the rest of the printer.

Is this normal or do I need to grease or lubricate extruder gears?
