mk3s y-axis making noise when printing solid layers.

Hi!

 

This is newly built mk3s with the latest firmware.

When the printer is printing solid layers, (apart from the first layers) the y-axis is making kind of a squealing sound when the bed is moving fast and long moves.

I rechecked the u-bolts for uneven tightness and added a softish mat under the printer to prevent the table the printer sits on from resonating, but that did not help much. I also added the prusa grease according to the maintenance chapter. 

I have read some forum posts that the y-stepper sometimes resonates to the frame but I'm not sure of that. Other than the solid layers the printer is very silent 90% of the time. 

I starting to lean towards this being normal, or my table on the wheels is somehow still resonating.

 

Thanks!
