Sounds normal to me. The circle shape causes two steppers to oscilate between fast and slow in a sine pattern, and those two stepper speeds are phase shifted compared to each other, making it sound odd.

If you printed an elipse insteaf you'd get a different song.

The sound itself is expected, but it sounds like there might be some resonance at play, increasing the volume, but I wouldn't worry about it.

That makes sense, thank you.
