Are these noises normal? It looks like something is stuck somewhere?

Thank you. Do you have an idea what could be the cause of these noises?

HP Recommended

It sounds like service station movement during printer power UP or cleaning cartridges. The service station is the parts of the printer used to clean and maintain printhead and collects waste ink.

If the sound stops when the printer prints it's a service station, but if the sound continues all the time during printer operation than I'm not sure.
