It drives me crazy when I am in the room. I have stared at the moving print head for a long timeto try to determine the problem. As it does not seem to affect the print quality (as far as I can tell) and no obstruction seems to be present, I think it occurs internally behind where I can see and may have something to do with the gears and mechanism that drive the head. I would love to pull the printer apart and have a look. Paul G.
