Sounds like the lube/grease applied to the stabilizer wire for the L-shift may have thinned out, causing the metal wire to hit the stabilizer plastic housing and create that high-pitched noise

In most cases, this tends to be the result of the lube shifting from use or transit. You may be able to use a brush and take any lube that fell off and reapply it to the wire. Otherwise, the only fix is to buy some lube and apply some extra

Same thing on my Two HE that I just got last week. Left shift makes this dry plastic sound, all the other keys are ok. Took it apart and noticed there was barely any grease, just some oily residue maybe. I left it as is, because I don't have any grease and I'm not buying it just for one key at this moment. But the stabilizers seem to be ok, I didn't notice anything weird.
