Default Cam noise

My Bowtech Equalizer has developed this squeaking sound coming from the top cam. It usually occurs at mid-draw. Anyone have some kind of idea why the cam would be making this noise? What could I (or the proshop) do to alleviate it?

Default RE: False alarm...

Glad you found it. I think I read a fair amount of these questions stating that there is a noise in the top cam when it's the arrow being drawn across the rest or the cable slide. Funny how the ears play tricks on us.

In my experience very few times do cams or cam bushings make noise, especially those with bearing.
