Loud noise

i just got my 13 inch macbook pro back from the store because of hard drive replacement.
its been exactly 5 month since i got this laptop and i already had to get hard drive??
that already ****** me off and now its making a really loud noise,
i was watching a clip on the internet and it made a really loud fan noise so i thought my laptop overheated but it was not even hot
so i closed it and put it to sleep for little and i tried inserting my walmart pictures cd and it made the same loud noise.
i NEVER heard this loud noise from my laptop before i got my hard drive replacement....
i dont understand why its making the noise and its bothering me so much! do i need to go back to the apple store??
could it be because of the hard drive replacement??

Last time this happened to me it was caused by a faulty temperature sensor connection.
Easy to correct, but had to be taken back to the shop.
Take it back !

I have an older macbook pro and the hard drive is starting to go (making loud noises). i tried to back up to an external hard drive (my passport essential se) using time machine and the computer keeps shutting down. the same thing happens when just trying to save my pictures from iphoto to a flash drive. suggestions to complete backup please?

Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

Macbook pro fan making loud noises and going really fast. Now the fan doesn't work at all and my computer gets extremely hot almost instantly. Is there a way to fix it without having to pay a ton of money to have someone fix it for me?

I've had my Macbook pro for about 3 1/2 years now. It has worked great until recently. A few months ago I noticed that the fan would always run really fast when I was doing simple tasks. After a few weeks/months, the fan was still really fast but it also started to make these loud noises. Now, it only occasionally makes the loud noise if I move my computer after its been stationary for a while. The fan no longer works at all and my computer gets exceptionally hot almost instantly when I turn it on. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to pay a ton of money to have someone fix it for me?

You can try a SMC reset:

Hard Drive is making a loud noise on my laptop! Help!

Hello,
I have owned my hp envy 17 laptop for almost 2 years now. Recently my computer has been making a really loud noise and it seems it is working a lot harder than it needs to be. I suspect the fan or the hard drive is the culprit but I have convinced myself it is the hard drive.
When I start up my computer the loud noise begins almost immediately after startup. This noise sounds like the computer is working as hard as it possibly can, almost making a grinding noise. Even after the computer has booted up, this noise continues for another minute or two before it stops, then my laptop becomes quiet. What puzzles me, and leads me to believe it is the hard drive, is the fact my computer get unreasonably hot when the noise occurs; it never used to do this before.
This is not what confuses and annoys me the most, it is the sound reoccurring again. This situation is something I have never heard of before. My laptop for some reason ,when it is moved or bumped, even the slightest, start to "rev" and the hard drive roars; it does this for five minutes or so. It also does this when the laptop is closed, and in "sleep mode"; the slightest bump lets it off like a baby. I suspect that there is a switch, flap or wire that is not attached properly and when moved it triggers the hard drive.
I have found a few small solutions to this problem. The main thing I do when the sound occurs is I close the laptop lid which puts it in sleep mode and turns off the hard drive, silencing it for the time being. This solution I came across by accident; I turned my laptop sideways when the sound occurs and the sound stops until I put the laptop upright again(Laptop is open).
I would like to hear your thoughts on this, a solution you might of have encountered or any explanation of the cause; also explain any costs. I have partially opened up my laptop and it looks in order to me with the dust at a minimum. I'd rather check online for a solution first before bringing it to a computer repair shop which, i'm willing to do as a last resort.
Sincerely,
Greg

Without hearing the sound it is hard to judge but it does not sound like a hard drive from your description. Hard drive noise is usually a rhythmic "click" not a sustained "whirr". That kind of noise comes from a cooling fan. We can test the hard drive in the BIOS. Tap F2 as you power up to enter UEFI diagnostics and look for the hard drive test. If you do not have UEFI diagnostics (i.e. your laptop came with Windows 7 not Windows 8) then tap F10 and look for a hard drive diagnostic in the old-school BIOS interface.
The Envy 17 series tends to run hot and cooling fan issues are not uncommon. Sometimes it can be fixed by self-help such as blowing out the fan with compressed air. If it is the fan, the replacement fan is not too expensive but labor might run $80-150 for replacing the fan. Post back with any questions.
If you are going to post back please give us your full model number found on the bottom of the laptop or in the battery bay.

Hi my late 2008 model Mac Book Pro has gotten really slow and has made a loud noise twice in the last month.

My Macbook is not acting right it has gotten very sluggish online and has made a really loud buzz or screaching sound twice in the last month. The first time I was just on the internet and it wouldn't quit making the loud noise until I turned it off and back on. This last time it made it while restarting it or was in the process of restarting from updating and while it was still a black screen it made that noise but stoped on its own this time. I have no idea what to check in Macs or where to looks for errors or problems. If someone could please direct me in what I can check to see if there is any info on what may be problemactic on my computer. Thank you. Laurie

Thank you ds store for replying. Not to sound ignorant but I am when it comes time to this...how do I upgrade to 10.6? I also think I have all the ram installed I can on it. This is what system profiler shows in memory.

Also the link you profided is this what the update to 10.6 will provide? I really didn't understand the tech language so I didn't understand what it was telling me. I am sorry to be so inept on this. I just had to have the battery replaced about a month ago and while in the store I was asking the tech to check all the error messages and make sure everything was OK because I had no clue what they meant or if I had any problems. I just use it I guess you would say. The tech said I didn't need to worry about any of that stuff that Mac's don't get viruses and I was fine. Well that didn't answer checking for hardware problems or anything like that but he didn't have anything else to say about it.

10.4.10 vers 1.1 | Loud noise and Hum on speakers thru' USB Audio Interface

After doing this update all of a sudden my Mbox2 produces loud noise and Hum on my attached speaker when hooking up the power adapter to my MbookPro or adding a second display... I can virtually hear when the computer is computing thru' the speakers... This noise thing adds up the more equipment I hook up...
Does anyone know what this could be....???

This can happen if the software is "allowing"
more power to be accessed by the USB ports..
This isn't quite accurate. USB devices can ask for power, up to 2.5 watts (500 ma @ 5 volts), from a USB port. Software can query the device for its power requirements & shut down the power to it (& warn you it is doing so) if it exceeds that limit. However, the hardware in Macs themselves (& essentially all other computers) also have a number of power limiting circuits, independent of the OS software, that make it just about impossible for the software to "allow" more power than this to be drawn from the port. (If they didn't, they would not meet most of the world's safety codes.)
Moreover, if your USB speakers (or any other USB device) requires more than 2.5 watts, it would never have been bus powered under any version of the OS, assuming it meets USB standards (IOW, displays an official USB logo & is not itself defective).
If the technician is telling you something different, it might be a good idea to find a more qualified one, or at least get a second opinion.

Macbook pro won't turn, and make loud noises

When I was watching a video on my 15inch macbook pro, the screen suddenly turned black and made the click sound that is usually only present in forced shut down.
I then press the power button once, and nothing happened except for another "click" sound as I pressed the power button.
I tried pressing the power button again, and again, the same thing just kept on happening.
Then I pressed the power button down and held it for 5-10 seconds and heard multiple click sounds. After that, my macbook pro successfully turned on.
However, the noise (supposedly from the cooling fans?) kept getting louder and louder. My macbook pro now functions rather normally, but the noise would never go away, which worries me a lot.
Also, I turned it off and tried turning it on again. The same thing happened. I could not turn it on by pressing it once; all i heard was the click sounds. I could only turn it on by holding the power button for more than 5 seconds (also hearing the click sounds multiple times and the loud noise)
Is there something seriously wrong wtih my macbook pro?
and can I make it so I can turn it on normally and not hear the loud noises?
thanks

You can try running the Apple Hardware Test by booting holding the D key down.

Macbook Pro makes a very loud noise as soon as i turn it on

hi there im having an issue and i was wondering if someone could help me.. basically i only just bought my macbook pro about a week ago and my issue is that every time i turn it on it makes a really LOUD noise which is so irritating! and i know its not normal cause i have a friend with a macbook pro and his doesn't do that the noise he has is very low.. i was wondering if someone could help me out?

You might try running the extended version of the Apple Hardware Test (on one of your gray system discs) and see if you get anything in the nature of an error code which would point to the cause of the noise.
Also, download iStatPro and use it to check your fan speed. If it is 6000 RPM or so, that is likely the cause of the noise. Fans normally idle silently at 2000 RPM, so 6000 RPM would not be normal.
Also, if the noise is the fan, open Activity Monitor. Select "All Processes" at the top and "CPU" on the bottom. Look for a rogue process which is consuming an inordinate amount of the CPU.
If the fans are at 2000 RPM, there is a high possibility that the noise is coming from your hard drive. If so, back up everything immediately and contact Apple about a repair or replacement. Since your Mac is just a week old, you may be able to exchange it for a new one if there is a hardware problem with it.
Good luck!

Toshiba A505 Loud cd/dvd player loud noise!!!

I bought a A505-S6005 about 3 months ago. Everything works great but just yesterday i put a dvd in the drive and it started making a loud sound. It vibrates real bad and the fan makes a loud noise too. It finally stop making noise then as soon as it would read it again the noise would come back. It does that with every cd or dvd. The laptop came with a One year warranty but i lost the paper and the receipt. I still have the box and stuff. I was wondering if i could still return it ? Thanx

I would not rule out the possibility of it being defective, you really should get that looked at. Unless a Best Buy employee says otherwise, I think if you purchased your laptop directly from Best Buy, I think they can send out your Toshiba Laptop on your behalf to the manufacturer for warranty repair.

IMAC freezing, hang during startup, loud noise coming out from the speaker

I am using the iMAC i3 Intel based which i bought it just a month ago
Last week it hang, freeze just like that without me launch any application just yet
I hold the ON button for a restart, and it freeze during the startup
One more thing, sometimes when it freeze, there's a noise coming out from the speaker ( just like there is no signal from the TV )
Already sent it to the Apple Service Center but they tell me it is free from any error, but by the time i bring it back home, not even 12 hours, it freeze again just like that with loud noises coming out from the speaker.
Btw did i mention, sometimes there's also a screen distortion
Please somebody help me

I've experienced similar symptoms to the original poster's description. I have an iMac 27" 2010 model. This may be related to the following:
I've looked on numerous forums regarding the freezing problem I was having. This problem would arise on a wide range of systems.
Symptoms included but were not all always present - usually when I am loading the system with games/heavy load processes:
- Full system freeze, screen still on.
- Loud cracking noise coming from speakers (relative to what volume was at when the freeze happened).
- Computer asleep but I cannot wake up unless hard reset with power button.
- My screen backlight was also damaged (permanently dimmed) near the left side, and progressively got worse over time. This was fixed (replaced LCD 27" display $600+ and covered by my creditcard extended warranty)
Basically, what I've come to realize which has not been well documented as far as I could find relating to this problem - is that the system is overheating and causing these freezing errors (and LCD damage in my case). Prologned occurances could result in different system part failures.
How do you fix the overheating problem? Give this a try, it's worked so far for me and I've actually been able to continue video/photo editing without having this annoying freeze.
Search for and download 'iStat Pro' (widget addon that lets you monitor your system temperatures... compare it before and after the fix)
Search for and download 'SMCFanControl (a great little app that allows you to change your system fan speeds) - I did not know this was possible, and have never heard the fans go this high when it was being run automatically by the system. The fan's are obviously louder when set to max, but is well worth the system cooling results.

Loud noise when burning CD and will not burn DVD

I bought an iMac a week ago and have been trying to burn DVDs - from finder, toast, popcorn and i have tried different brand DVDs and +R & -R all to no avail. i get a error message everytime.
I can burn CDs, but it makes a really loud whirring sound (i mean unhealthy loud) throughout the whole burn process and then for a few minutes afterwards.
Has anyone else experienced these problems? It doesn't sound normal.

It's probably a media problem. I had a 100 pack of Verbatim CD's that vibrated and made a loud noise in mine. Like it was out of balance. They worked fine in other burners.
If another brand does the same thing, then I'd be concerned.

File Vault won't stop. Makes loud noise

When I set up my IMAC G-5 originally, I selected to us File Vault, since I didn't know any better. I haven't opted to have space recaptured for a long time. Last night when asked, I said yes. After an hour of seeing the small circle turning on the light blue screen, the scren went black and a loud noise began, possibly the hard drive turning at full speed without doing anything. That was over 11 hours ago, and now I don't know what to do. I have all id's and passwords, but haven't backed up recently, so I don't want to turn off the machine unless that is the only option. My email address is [email protected] if you respond by email. Thank you

I finally decided to turn off the machine anyway, and nothing was corrupted. I'll now backup the machine, turn off file vault, and recommend to my friends that it is risky to use.

ITunes 7.0.2 Extremely loud noise when you move files in Finder

I could find only one thread that was close to what I'm experiencing:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3122307
Every now and them, while listening to my iTunes music, when I drag and move a file/folder, a sudden extremely loud noise occurs. This noise almost sounds like a speaker distortion and goes away after 1-2 seconds. As soon as this noise goes away, the music being played in iTunes comes back.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
Any input would be appreciated.

I think I may be experiencing something similar. This just started today. iTunes 7.1.1, get a random annoying noise that plays into the music. Best description I can give is the noise the comp makes when it can't complete whatever task you are trying to do via pushing or typing on the keyboard. You no, just that real quick "thump". It only lasts for a second and is completely at random. Only occurs when I am playing music on iTunes. Clueless...

HT1338 My macbook air got some loud noise

Just recently my macbook air got a loud noise when i plug in my cable. the fan sound is very loud and i just purchase my macbook recently,may i know what issue is that?

When you think about it, you'll have to agree that with this "description" we can't do much - other than advising you to "turn all sounds off"...
So, a better explanation of what type of noise and possibly in what situation it occured would be absolutely necessary.

I have a macbook pro 15 retina - when ever I connect to bluetooth speaker, I get this loud noise coming from the speaker - if I turn bluetooth off, the noise is now coming from the macbook speakers

I have a macbook pro 15 retina - when ever I connect to bluetooth speaker, I get this loud noise coming from the speaker - if I turn bluetooth off, the noise is now coming from the macbook speakers & stays until i restart.

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks
Stephen
