I was having a terrible time recently with clicking, grinding noises from the extruder gears.
Turned out there was a lot of dirt and grease built up behind the idler wheel and on the shaft.
I took off the idler and gave it all a clean and the noise has gone completely.
There is an STL for an idler on Voltivo forum if you need to print one but I found cleaning did the trick for me.
