Here is the video. Now I realize the noise starts at the beginning of the lower buildplate command:

I just want to update this with a couple of things:
I unhooked the Z-motor and gave the leadscrew a good clean and lube. I noticed a scorch mark on the Z-motor plug (photo attached).
I tested moving the buildplate from Cura. It made a horrible noise, and it seemed to lower no mater which direction I tried to move it. (I hit the up arrow twice, then the down arrow twice.)
When I tried to move the buildplate down manually, it felt locked until I turned my machine off.
Hi @Daviren,
If this is the Z stepper, it looks like there have been a loose crimping at this burned contact.
This might be true as the burn mark is high up on the connector.
With the right tool and a new connector this should be an easy fix..
Thanks

Okay, that makes sense! Thank you!
@Torgeir The next time I pulled the plug out, a couple of the wires fell right out of the crimp! I got a new Z-motor and it's working beautifully. Once I get a crimping tool, I'll fix the connection on the original motor. (I got the crimp and some fresh connectors.) Thank you again!

Might be best to share a video of the issue your having.. but it sounds like the z axis is binding up?
