If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.

There are 2 gears that are the swing gears for fuser drive. They may need replaced. 1/4" spacer on the left or right locating pin for the fuser usually takes care of the problem. Did u replace fuser recently. When you pull the fuser you will see the pins that they locate on. Put spacer on one and test for noise. Try other side if noise is still there.
Fuser pressure roller bushings cause the problem with the gears. At the website Blackcat mentioned there is a kit that has all the parts needed or you can buy the parts listed in the other post from another vendor.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

Re: HP 3005/Grinding noise IF ALL ELSE FAILS! Or even if it doesn't.
FYI: If, after you replace all the gears in this POS!!!
And STILL have a 'RUM RUM RUM RUM RUM ' noise, it's NOT the gears or fuser. What it is, is that the lower left metal tab that the lower left mounting hole the fuser screws to is flexing. This is if the noise happens immediately on high speed in the forward direction.
I fixed mine by JAMMING a Q-tip shaft into the loose (about 1/16") space between that tab and the side frame. In order to get it to fit, I had to pry the tab inward long enough to slip the q-tip stem(shaft) into the gap. VOILA!! Now it does not sound like a POS, even though it STILL IS!!!
SHAME on HP for inflicting this misery upon the world..
