    These machines have a shared drum/waste toner motor and a separate dev motor.
    If you're running the motors in output mode and still getting a noise it might be an indicator that the motor itself is shot.
    Just as a test...replace the waste toner bottle first.(cheaper option)

    Have also seen waste bottle make noise. The machine sounds like a motor but it is the waste bottle.
