Hi,
I'm noticing some ringing sound while printing, it seems to come from the left side od the gantry. I've tried to place my finger on the pulleys to check if it stops the sound - didn't help.
What could it be? Loose bolt? What do I check?

maybe post a video of the printer exhibiting the noise?

Yeah, there was supposed to be one, one sec

sounds like it's hitting the resonant frequency of the printer

does it do the same if you print faster/slower?

I see that you have modded your gantry with the steal beam, this is normal. The steal beam is known for that issue even I have that problem. I recommend finding a way to get rid of that noise and make sure you tighten up your screws

You can also try using a input shaper or stealthchop to lower the noise
