Tried changing toner cartridge but no difference. Using factory new Canon brand carts. Print quality is OK, no unusual noise when copy or print from paper cassette. Noise gets worse when printing several sheets at once but only if paper or envelope is coming from MP Tray. Machine is about 2 years old but has had light use until recently.
SOURCE: Loud clicking noise
This is one of the known issues with the HL-5240. This will require a replacement paper tray. Definately the problem if it is more of a clack than a click.
SOURCE: Can't print from the MP tray?
When you print labels or envelopes you need to select the correct tray from the print menu. (File print or ctrl P) or the printer will think the normal paper tray is being used.
You can force the printer to change the tray after the print has been sent by pressing the continue button on the printer, just make sure that the normal tray has no paper in it.
Are there settings on the control panel of your printer?
Is the tray 1 the MP tray? (The one that flips towards you)
If so, can you change the settings of the Tray 1 to Envelope on the control panel?
I hope this helps.

My machine had the same problem. A service tech looked at my machine and pulled out the OPC Belt Drum Unit. The drum unit had a few issues: 1) jagged rips in it, something caused by running papers through that had staples or paperclips in them. So when the drum turns, it scrapes other parts and the machine sounds like its going to drop all its nuts and bolts--at least mine did!)! and 2) the spindles from the OPC unit has come loosened and fell off. The spindles and plastic cogs were found way at the bottom of the OPC Drum slot. This too was thought to have added to the rips in the drum.
I replaced the drum ($399 was the cheapest I could find) and the problem went away.
An expensive repair but for me it worked...
