Just got a WRM2021 Maglev, and it's got a rather annoying squeak just on the yellow side. I can't figure out what is making the noise. I can't say that spring noise has bothered me before, but this squeak on a maglev cube is annoying me quite a bit."

Maybe put in some weight lube around the top maglev magnet

Put some silicon lube on the top of the magnet/washer. If that doesn't work you might been to clean the space where the screw and washer meet, incase dust has accumulated, but I've heard of a few people having this problem and lube seems to work well to fix it.

I think that the GAN 12 has the MagLev components set in plastic, whereas the WRM just has a magnetic washer under the screw. So there's more opportunity for metal to rub against metal in the WRM, causing squeaking (or at least that's my theory, I don't have the GAN 12).
Personally, I'm going to keep lubing my cores, MagLev or not, since there are still moving parts interacting. Plus it only takes a couple of minutes and a tiny fraction of a bottle of weight 5, and hardly ever needs redoing since the lube is under the centre caps.

Hello! It turns out your magnet is loose! try taking them out and puting them back in nice and snug.
