I had a similar problem.  In my case it was caused by feeding plastic
transparencies through the printer without opening the door in the
back.  This practice resulted in too much stress on the paper drive
mechanism.  Surprisingly, the noise was coming from the toner
cartridge.  Replacing the cartridge eliminated the problem.  

I don't know if you are having the same problem, but you might try
using a different cartridge.  Meanwhile, be very careful to open the
rear paper exit door whenever you print on heavy paper or transparancies.
