Possible causes
A piece of paper, or other obstruction, is stuck somewhere inside the printer. One of the toner cartridges or photo developer units may be installed incorrectly or may be damaged. A door or cover may not be closed completely. A roller or gear on a paper feed option may need repair.
A grinding noise when using the scanner glass or flatbed to make a copy or scan a document is typically due to a mechanical malfunction of the scanner assembly. However, it may be the result of debris or objects interfering with the travel of the print head.
A grinding sound is heard when the printer is turned on or when it is printing. Blinking lights may accompany the noise. The problem can be caused by a carriage stall or a paper jam.
Turn the printer on, and replace the cartridges if possible. If the carriage moves, but there is still a grinding noise, there may be a paper feed issue. If the carriage will not move, then it is a carriage stall issue.
A clicking sound may occur if the stirring spring assembly inside the Toner Cartridge catches on a rib within the cartridge, preventing the stirring spring and its gear from turning. The resulting click is caused by the drum`s toner drive gear slipping against the stirring spring gear on the Toner Cartridge.
Grinding
If the grinding noise comes when you shift, it`s likely due to a worn clutch. Grinding when you turn a corner could be due to a CV joint that needs to be replaced or another suspension issue. And if you notice a grinding noise when you brake, your brake pads may be completely worn down to the metal.

If your computer is making a clicking or grinding sound, or any sort of low-pitched buzzing noise, you should stop what you`re doing and check the hard drive. This sound could indicate a dying disk—do not ignore it.

Also, impact printers have very high noise levels because they have several moving parts and also the printing head strikes on ribbon and paper. The quality of print produced by an impact printer is very poor than that of a non-impact printer.
Laser printers are almost always louder than ink printers because they have many more parts in operation at the same time. Even though many of these parts aren`t themselves particularly noisy, the fact that all of them are moving all the time can contribute to a few headaches.
The reason varies for inkjet printers and laser printers. In case of the inkjet printers, the noise occurs due to the ink cartridge alignment and for the carriage to move to the side of the printer. up of the fuser and certain internal process occurs.

After replacing the fuser you may hear a rumbling sound from the rear side of the printer. This rumbling, or grinding, is due to the newly replaced gears working with the worn fuser drive gears.
Paper pushed too far into the input tray when it is loaded, might feed into the printer incorrectly, causing the paper to tear. Paper stacks loaded into the input tray with too many or too few sheets of paper, might feed into the printer incorrectly, causing the paper to tear.
What you hear is actually the printer preparing to print. The preparation phase is where the printer runs through a checking mechanism to verify is all the parts of the printer are functioning. this is to ensure that the print doesn`t get halted halfway through.
