M2 X/Y carriage buzzing sound

Hey everyone,
I've been talking on and off with tech support at Makergear about this, but I was wondering if anyone on the forums has had a similar experience. For a while now, my M2 has been making a buzzing sound during certain movements, and it's driving me nuts. Here's a video of the sound:

What I've narrowed down so far:
1. It's not the extruder; disconencting the extruder and running a print still causes the sound
2. It no longer happens with the belts disconnected
3. It still happens with dampers installed, and I even swapped out the motors for some new ones, so it's definitely not the motors themselves
4. Slower speeds can cause it to be louder, and movements in both the x and y directions cause it to happen the most
Has anyone had this happen before? I've lubed everything, and tightened everything I can get my hands on without disassembling the bed. It sure sounds like a loose screw but if it is I have no idea which one, the only ones I haven't tightened that I know about are the small m2's under the bed carriage, but they don't wiggle when I touch them.
