Horrible noise on new Prusa Mini

Eagerly assembled my new mini according to the instructions, and everything seemed fine until the self-test.
The horrible, very loud, noise comes from the z-axis and I have no idea what could be going on.
It did move down to the center from the very top, while making the noise on the first try. I then switched off the power and tried again while recording.

Any ideas would be really helpful!

Problem solved with excellent support in the chat!

The issue was a bad connection. Tugging gently on each of the z-motor connectors revealed that the red one completely popped out. Adjusting the small tab on the crimped end and pushing it back in seems to have completely fixed the issue.
