Check to make sure nothing is loose.

I had the bolts for my quiver come loose while I was in Canada and my bow was extremely noisey until I tightened them back down.

From the information you have given – I would bet that it is the upper cross-axial support of the top idler wheel/cam. This support will often wear unevenly after switching from field points to broadheads. You need to buy a axial converter (they are very cheap) and shoot with that a few times and presto – No noise

What kind of noise is is making and when it is making the noise?

This is like askng a mechanic " My car is making a funny noise. What is it?"

Need more info.

JZarr is right. Check all screws to make sure they are tight. Before every hunt I check my screws in my sight guard, cable guide, quiver mount, etc, etc.. It only takes a few loose screws to cause a big noise.

How much have you shot it? Your string may have stretched, making the cam(s) go out of tune(yes, even a single cam bow will be out of tune). If the cam or cams are out of tune, they tend to make a bow louder. I would be willing to bet this is what happened. Take it to a dealer and have them put a couple twists in your string and/or cables if it needs it.

Then again, Rack could be right...
