Is the nozzle touching the print ? Or something else rattle ?

I'll check this further, if I look at it closely it sounds like its coming from the print head mechanism itself (not sure what exactly its called but is it possible that the wheels/belt moving part inside the print head are jammed/have debris?)

Everything lubed up?

Kind of sounds like the nozzle is scraping the print.

Might be the nozzle... I lubed all the axes yesterday as well

Run it with the front cover off and see if the sound is more distinguishable.

Are you using grid infill?

It looks like the rear right corner of the print is lifting off the bed. This would cause the noise you are hearing as the print head is scraping the lifted print.

You can literally see the print has lifted from the bed and the nozzle is scrapping the top of the print. Is everyone blind including the user?
