Why is my printer making strange noises?

Check the paper tray to make sure it is loaded with paper of the correct size and type.
Check to make sure the printer is plugged into an active power source.
Check to make sure the ink cartridges are securely installed in the printer.
Make sure all cables, including the power and USB cables, are connected securely.
Check the printer's control panel for any errors, including low ink or toner levels.
Check the paper feed rollers to make sure they are clean.
Check for any jammed paper or objects that may have gotten stuck in the printer.
Run a printer diagnostic to determine if the noises are related to a mechanical or technical issue.
