Default Starboard side motor tilt much louder than port.

Both Bravos see to move "normally" but I noticed in the garage (out of the water) that the sound emanating from the starboard side of my 311 is significantly louder than the port side...any suggestions? Is this some pre-failure mode or does it just need to be bled?

Is it the trim pump making the noise? Does it sound like the bearings on the gimble sqeaking, or maybe the bushings in the ends of the cylinder?

I will get my car buddy to help locate the noise while I flip the switch...Thanks!
I think its pump/bearing related...
