My Mac is...clicking...

98FireyGT! · November 23rd, 2011, 11:28 PM

I have a shiny new Macbook Pro. I love it but....

ITS CLICKING AT ME!

It seems whenever I load a web page it makes these annoying "click...click...click...click" noises. I can not for the life of me figure out why. Anyone got any ideas?

A synthetic (as in from the speakers) or mechanical (like hard drive/fan/cdrom/etc spinning) ?

Could have a short in the speaker... Or there is a robotic chicken on your motherboard..

There is an Apple store in Spokane, set up an appointment and take it there. Those bastards are lazy so they will most likely just replace it with another new one. That's what I did.

I googled it, and its common. Some say its the hard drive and its just the way it works, being louder than others. Others say its about to fail. Take it into the genius bar. Or...

Clicking most of the time is gonna be hard drive related....

Laptops of all sorts are known for it. Every laptop I have owned and that my brothers have owned have done it. My current laptop has done it since day one and it's still kicking after 3 years.

It's from the speakers, lol, it goes away when I mute the damn thing.

I can't exactly trade it in because it's not mine, it's on loan from my school.

Fox2102 · November 24th, 2011, 01:39 AM

It's a short in the speakers then. Probably better off just using head phones.

try throwing it at the wall.

Headphones cured it....fucking lame. Find me a PC laptop that has a metal frame, pretty screen, and a light up keyboard and I'll go buy that in a heartbeat.
