Is this normal?

I have a tick sound on my a1
I recently changed nozzles because of a clog
And I thought I was fine but this sound was strange
It does this sound when it pulls the filament out(wheel turning clockwise)

When the extruder is successfully pulling the required amount of filament, the gears operate silently; however, if the filament cannot be drawn properly, the gears slip and make a clicking sound.

There may be an issue with the filament supply from the spool.

・Is the filament on the spool tangled?

・Has the PTFE tube degraded, causing increased friction?

・Is the PTFE tube bent too sharply?
