If it is clear, it could be the limit switch isn't working. Those actually only cost $2 at a local electonics shop. there is just a requirement of soldering and screwing the switch back in the same way the old one is. If that isn't the problem, it might be your stepper motor is wired incorrectly. This may be from incorrect sequence of steps due to wire mix up. Call flashforge and see if they can respond about that kind of problem. The last possibiliy is that the wires are getting pinched somewhere on the machine. This can commonly happen during shipping and it casues the electrical connection to be disabled on and off depending on how pinched the wire is and whether it makes contact with another conductive surface.
I think the best way is the contact Flashforge service. I encountered the same problem that the printer is trying to move to the limit of one direction but the limit sensor is not triggering. The printer does not know it has reach its axis limit, so the motor keep on going until the sensor is trigger. It is possible where the noise is coming from. It is due to poor manufacturing, I did a quick fix by adding an extra mount to secure the limit sensor. But please check with them before start fixing it. They might say you damaged the printer yourself and not provide you an exchange or support.
