#Horrible noise from Ender 3 V2 when heating

Hello,

I recently got an Ender 3 V2 from a friend of mine, they had it for a couple years but barely used it. I have been using it quite a bit for the past couple weeks, when yesterday it suddenly started making an awful noise. It started mid print, and it freaked me out so I aborted the print job and turned it off. When I turn it back on it doesn't start immediately, but when I make it start preheating it happens. I have a video I am going to try to attach to the post

I speculate it's a fan that needs to be replaced, which I wanted to do anyway since the stock fans are so loud, but I want to make sure it's not a damaged motor.

It sounds like you might be experiencing an issue with one of the cooling fans or the extruder motor. The noise could be due to a damaged fan or a misaligned fan blade. I recommend checking both the cooling fans by manually spinning them to see if you can identify which one is producing the noise. If the noise persists even after replacing the fan, you may need to inspect the extruder motor for any potential issues. If you would like, you can share the video here, and I can help further diagnose the issue.

I'm not inclined to think it is a problem with any of the XYZ axis motors, because I can use the control pad to manual move those and it sounds fine. That does leave the extruder motor, which I can't manually test without preheating the printer.
