noisy motor help

[tkms002]

I have 4 of the 5 amp 570 in/oz nema 23 steppers. I finally got my machine up and running but I am having an issue with one of the motors.
If I only have my Z, Y and A motors plugged in all is well but when I plug in my X motor ALL the motors start to make a kind of hissing,buzzing noise at idle.
Unplug the X motor and all go quiet. Plug it back in and all get noisy.

Here is a grid of what I have tried
Motors plugged in
A X Y Z noisy
X Y Z noisy
A Y Z quiet
AX noisy
AXY noisy
XY noisy
XYZ noisy
YZ quiet

So you can see the only time the motors get noisy is when the X motor is plugged in.

I am using KL 5056 E drivers
I am running Arduino/GRBL
The X and A drivers are connected to the same port on the arduino.

I think I have a bad motor.
Please help.

The X and A drivers are connected to the same port on the arduino.

This is possibly the issue. Swap the X motor and drive with one of the others, and see if the same thing happens when you add the 4th motor.

If you want tech support, email them directly. That's always the best method, for any company.

Ok. It does not matter what driver the X motor is plugged in to. It causes the noise when connected to any of them.
