Knocking sound from extruder stepper

There is this knocking noise from extruder stepper. Please help me to figure out the problem.


SKR 1.4 Turbo + TMC2209 ( vref=0,8V ) + Marlin 2.0.9.3


Here is the list of what I did to solve this,

I removed filament so it is not about the hotend
I changed TMC driver
I changed connection port on mainboard ( used E1 port instead of E0 port )
I unplugged steppers cable and plugged to x / y and z steppers , this time sound transferred to that stepper.

As I understooed, extruder stepper is making tiny and sudden retractions during the xy direction changes of nozzle while printing. That knocking sound comes from that little retraction moments. It is not effecting print quality but very disturbing and loud.
 

 

I have made 2 videos. In the first video retraction moments can clearly be seen.

    Hello. Did you solve the stepper noise issue? I have a similar problem with Ultimaker 2 Ext+ but with the Z axis stepper. It started after a firmware change. I can feel a strong vibration touching the lead screw. Same with not effecting print quality but the noise drives me crazy. I have to leave the room when it's printing. I checked the wiring and changed the stepper. Didn't fix the problem.

    When printing the Z stepper is pretty silent?  It just makes a quick "blip" between layers.  Can you make a 5 second video showing the problem?

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
