My LaserJet M283fdw has developed a very loud noise (at a pitch, not a grinding or knocking) that occurs when printing from the main paper tray and when initializing. It still occurs when the print cartridges are removed. Strangely, the noise does not occur when printing envelopes from the single sheet slot, but it does occur when printing full-size sheets from the same slot.

 

Is there a way for me to diagnose and potentially fix this problem? i will appreciate any help!
