However, on first powering it up & hearing the wince-inducing sounds of high-pitched metal-on-metal (and bearing in mind the repeated comments re. metal shavings), I think it needs looking at!

Dean,
High pitched sound is generated in motor coils, as a consequence of micro-stepping. Or, sometimes it could be generated in transfer gear. All this is quite normal.
The worm rotates very slowly (once in 8 minutes while tracking) and is definitely not the source of any sound you are hearing.
I wouldn't worry about it.
