Alright....
Calming myself down....
We have told you MANY times in the past like 3 hours that to break in the cube just turn it all over, best way is to just solve it for hours or days. To open the cube, just use a flat head screw driver or end of a spoon or knife. Turn one face halfway then get under the edge and pry it open. The first time it should be VERY hard. Dont hurt yourself.
The noise you hear is the rivets in the cube moving. After you lube it and work it in it should make a little less noise but it may stay as well.
Not a problem really

Maybe I should start reading the other sub-forums...
That sound is the spring rubbing against the rivet, not the rivet moving.
