I received my di vinci 1.0a printer yesterday and all is going well. I am currently printing my fifth object. It seems the printer is making almost musical sounds as it prints. Not sounds from the movement of the belts, but tones like a musical scales as the extruder moves around. Is there a setting to turn this off? It seems like it would be much quieter if it printed without these annoying sounds. Thanks for any responses...
This wins the "funniest post of the day" award 
Why is this so damn funny???

I mean absolutely no offense and understand that you are asking a serious question.
Give me a second and I will find and post a video that will clearly provide the answer.

Because that is the sound of the Stepper Motors...Which move the printers components...... Saying can you turn the sound off is like saying can you turn the sound of a Car's combustion engine off and expecting it to drive or work.
Try this out, one of my favorite videos.
Wardjr, thanks for the explanation, it makes sense that the motors make noise, but when the printer gets ready to print, the platform goes up and down several times. The sound in the beginning sounds like a stepper motor, but then when it moves up and down rapidly,(calibrating)?? it sounds like a small kazoo, or one of those things you blow in while moving a slide in and out lol. I have sent a note to xyz printing, asking about the printer sounds...I'll post their reply.
That could be several things, something in need of lubrication or even a stepper driver out of adjustment.

Chuckled there for a second

I had to check the date in case it was April the 1st.
lol !
NOTE TO OP:
3D Printers are not desktop printers. They do make noise. Although I have to admit a stock Da Vinci is one of the loudest. But just think of it as singing its praises to its new master.
@craiger45...
The good news is you have a lot of friends here that won't forget you and your first post for a while. So on behalf of those of us that got a good laugh (hopefully not at your expense) I say thank you. Don't be afraid to ask questions, we may be a collective group of smart asses but we are here to help.
