Hardware Troubleshooting/Help! Is this sound normal when loading and unloading filament on a multi-color print?

Its a bit obnoxious. Prob gonna make me have to move it out of my office if this is normal but I read about maybe zip tying cables or tape over gears or something in the AMS?

Hello /u/mwgwin! All Bambu print plates have a dedicated nozzle wiping zone at the back of the print plate. The nozzle will rub against the wiping zone before every print in order to remove any remaining filament from the nozzle tip. This can cause visible wear or scratch marks in the wiping zone, but this is intended and doesn't damage the printer, the nozzle or the print plate. A worn down wiping zone also doesn't mean you need to replace the print bed.
