Click, Click, Click......

Now i'm new to Apple but does everyones MBP Loudly click when you move it? I assume its the hard drive protecting itself? Am i right in thinking if i had the upgraded SD hard drive with no moving parts will that still click?

Thanks

My MBP sometimes does this, but it's only a quiet click.

Well i had the Macbook replaced recently and the old one did it as well. Which makes me think its normal...

is it a click or a bit of a squeak?
I've got a 15 and the pegs inside squeak, gets right on my nerves!

erm no... lol if you pick it up and shake it... it will make a donk type noise that is the hdd locking i think...

 

[Dafthead]

mine is more of a squeak too. no major clicks

Mine is defo a click. It does i when i slightly move it. Sounds like its coming from bottom right hand side?

Yup mine does it. Never really given much thought into what it was but the HDD makes sense.

Mine does that too. But its not my clicking....

Right i do have the light creaking noise too which gets on my tits... It wasnt on my last MBP. But this is the noise i started the thread for...

I thought it was the drive heads disengaging on the HDD to prevent damage to the disc.

That's 100% the HDD, sounds like the head(s) parking..try disabling the motion/free fall sensor breifly and see if it helps..

I fixed the squeaking on mine earlier, it'd got on my tits for far too long.

How did you fix that? I need to do this also?

The parcel tape..
Literally cut into strips and applied where the brass pegs contact it, you'll see where they've been rubbing to cause the squeaking.
