What is this click moving x axis? A dead bearing?

For a few days now I have been hearing a noise when T0 moves on the x-axis. Does this mean that a bearing has died? V-Core 4.0 400 IDEX
Solution:
locktite is your friend, I would put a dab on the screws so they don't back out

the zzZZZzzzZZ sound seems normal but that light rattling might be a bearing gone bad. Id rule out any other metal on metal things nearby first though

I have this same clicking noise too! Except i'm pretty sure mine is coming from the lower T1 X axis motor. And came across this youtube video where it seems like this guy has the same issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_XOfx6kZV0

By tightening the two screws of the pulley, the problem seems to have been solved
