Hi,
its been a long time ago that I cleaned that transfer belt, but i don't remember that ist has been hard.

YouTube
This video (not mine) shows you how to remove the transfer belt, afterwards you will see where the powder stucks. Just clean it without harming the belt.
You will also see a small channel where the powder ist thought to move into the waste toner box. You should also clean this one. When finished just replace the transfer belt and the noise will be gone.

Greetings.

By the way I have another Issue with my C220. I do often have problems with paper jamming. It usually jams 3 piece of paper in different positions. Is this a common problem? Is there a single cause for paper jamming like that?

christmu, post separate thread and paper jam code.
Mixing different questions in one thread is annoying as it obscures finding proper solutions for future readers!

You will need to clean the down pipe that feeds from cleaning unit into waste box that usually gets clogged up which then causes the cleaning unit to block.

Thanks again !
I cleaned the transfer belt as explained by christmu and now no noise and no need to buy a new photocopier.

Know that noise anywhere.

transfer belt cleaning section is blocked.

clean it out and unblock the chute to the waste toner bottle.

15 minute job.

problem solved.

For what's it worth, I just had the same issue on a Bizhub C3320i which has under 10k pages. In my case there were chunks of hardened toner in the shutter which prevented it to open correctly. The yellow imaging unit under the shutter was full of spilled waste toner.
In my case it made noise only when printing something. During startup and "idle" operation the machine was silent.
