Canon PIXMA MX922 Making Clacking Noise Every Hour or So

[TimothyW1686]

Every hour or so my printer makes a clacking noise as if it's getting ready to start printing even though nothing is being ready to be printed or hasn't been printed in a while.

The started after my printer went offline and i restarted my printer to bring it back online so i could print something now it doing it almost hourly on the dot and it's so loud it wakes me up in the middle of the night.

No idea why this started, I don't know where to start so i haven't really done any trouble shooting except returning it off and then back on and unplugging it and plugging it back in, Next on my list is to do a factory reset.
