Cartridges often can cause a loud squealing noise and is the first thing we try in the shop.

Are you sure it is not the battery backup alarm going off? To test, on the control panel of the printer, print off any type of report and see if you get the noise. If yes, then unplug the printer, move it to a completely different room and try to print the same report there. If you get no noise then likely you have an overloaded circuit and when the printer tries to print a page it is causing a major voltage drop which is causing your UPS to switch to battery and generate an alarm. Please note that aside from very large industrial ups system, battery backups are not intended to deal with the large inrush current that a laser printer demands.

NO UPS NO POWERBAR, both of these devices can cause random printer problems, as per HP manuals, device must be plugged into a wall outlet. Even a small printer like this will draw up to 10 amps on startup and during printing. If the printer is quieter running in quiet mode than either you several bad cartridges (NON HP cartridges are notorious for noise) or you have a drivetrain issue that would require service.
