MacBook Air makes creaking sound when put pressure around keyboard

Had my Mac for three weeks now and have recently noticed that every time I place my hands on the device to type it makes a creaking sound, almost like it has become loose. Sharing a house with someone who has the exact same model and they have never experienced the problem. Any ideas???

You did reset SMC.
Resetting SMC resolves power and other related issues.

"Zipper" like sounds?
You may have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.
Diagnostic testing is free.
Best.

Here's a link to a discussion on reddit that I found before posting here.

I Would be very surprised if it were a software issue... Also I have had the pop with the volume at the lowest, and near the highest... And in between.. The volume of the POP doesn't seem to change.
ill put my best guess in the hat... It could be a discharge of static electricity that built up on the new laminated glass display.
ssorry to say I've already repacked mine for return. I loved the speed! However, there are way too many bugs with 8.1. I could deal with the POP if iOS 8.1 were up to at least some quality bar.. I like the features in 8.1, but for,me, it's unusable with all the issues I've found. I wouldn't blame it on the testers.. they probably already found these issues. it looks like the bugs were 'postponed' and the release was rushed out the door..
ANd and I was just about to update my old ipad to 8.1.. I'm so glad I didn't.
ignore the part below.. I'm using safari and this editor is giving me ****. What's up with that?

My macbook pro makes a sound when switched on. It's brand new. Is that supposed to happen?, My macbook pro makes a sound when switched on. It's brand new. Is that supposed to happen?

It's been about a month since I started using this product. Can anyone tell me who I can contact? I'm lost. Also, will the repair be chargeable? It's a new laptop.

If it is a single "boong", that is part of the startup. Hardware is checked at system boot, and a single boong means all is well.
3 short beeps in a sequence means memory-issues, and other sounds mean other bad things.

I accidentally put my itouch 4th generation in the washer, so i took my itouch apart and dried it but now the screen is black but my itouch still makes a sound when i plug it in. what should i do?

Yu can try the suggestions here:

Was the restore successful?
If so I conclude thay the washing damaged something and servie is required. Ormaybe you damaged something when you took it apart/put it back together.

You have to jailbreak your phone to do this, voiding all warranty & support. Just flip the Ring/Silent switch when you send.

Why does my Macbook Air make a single buzz/beep?

Why does my Macbook Air make a single buzz/beep every time I open it or turn it on? It doesn't happen after again after the initial buzz. If I open it after it has been sleeping, it starts up and then there is a buzz. This has only happened since I downloaded iOS Maverick.

Beeps on startup:
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images.
5 beeps = processor is not usable

My speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up

my speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
3. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
4. Reset the NVRAM.
5. Reset the SMC.
6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
