    You could try a little string wax in the area where it slides but I would just get a new slide myself.

    I will try the wax, but it's not doing it now, maybe it was the humidity outside or something..

    It may have been the humidity. Now you have to ask yourself, what if it makes that noise while drawing back on a deer? Maybe it's not loud enough to spook the deer. One of the reasons I like the hyperglide is that it rolls along the bar and doesn't slide, no friction. You may just need to take it off and clean the inside real well. Perhaps there is some buildup of dirt or something in there that causes it to bind when it is a little damp.
