Spindle Making Noise

I have an Altimill 4x4 and only have had it for a few months and all of a sudden the spindle is making a high pitched sound, like the bearings need lubrication. I don’t want to take the spindle apart to try and grease things since it’s basically new and I would hope it’s a simple defect and I can have it replaced. It’s the spindle that I purchased from Sienci along with the Altmill, I think H100. Any advice on what might be causing the noise and or how to fix it? I don’t want to void any warranty I have so I am being very cautious of hoe to proceed.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

@grainandgain Following this thread. My spindle sometimes makes a high-pitched sound at the start but it has always stopped once at speed.
