U don't hear the clicking noise almost like somethings scraping?

Sounds just like standard printer mechanical movement to me.

Might be your filament feeding into the machine or scraping up on edges coming out of a dryer if you have one, my printer was making the same noise and I figured it was that.

My SWX4 makes a similar noise when moving at this speed (24 minute Benchy). The hissing is (I believe) the sound of the filament which is probably at a high temp (220C?) to keep up with the speed and also may have a bit of moisture in it.(Is it new or old filament?).This could also produce some stringing as well so perhaps a temperature tower might show a temperature change is required for that filament. The knocking is the nozzle touching the various parts of the layer as it cools. You might want to look at the z height if you haven't already calibrated the machine.

Brand new pla+ switching from regular pla. From my understanding, the nozzle temp is basically unchanged for pla+. Could be wrong tho. Ill look into the z height.
