Annoying high-pitched squeak

Suitable, bright (though long warm-up time). but. Coincidentally, several times a minute, an extremely annoying and rather loud, shrill squeak comes from a projector with this lamp. This is my fourth move, I know what I'm doing. This is the first time the lamp has caused a problem. He took out the old lamp, put it in place, does not creak. Reinstalled and the squeaking is back. It's so high you can hear it through the Top Gun's afterburner (due to its high frequency, it's impossible to dampen and it's quite annoying). As far as I know it has no moving parts so what could be the reason? And why the heck does this happen randomly several times a minute for about 3-5 seconds each time? It is confusing. But like many of you, my time is precious, I'm not interested in troubleshooting or arguing with the vendor. I order from another supplier/manufacturer or bite the bullet and buy directly from Epson for over $300. It's just not worth a dime and a dime
