Macbook Internals clicking noise

I have an Intel Macbook which is about 1-1.5 yrs old. It has seen little to no wear or tear, never been dropped, etc. Last night, I was putzing around (in Photoshop, if it matters) and the normal loud whirring I hear during this time was cut short by a sharp, short grinding noise. Now, however, the computer makes a brief two-click noise every 8-10 seconds.
At first, I thought this was the hard drive, but now I am not sure. Now I am thinking this could be the fan, as my battery seemed especially warm afterwards.
Is there any info I can get such as where to get a replacement fan, whether I should send it in or replace it myself, if this is something else, if this is common, etc? Thanks in advance

There are things you can do to determine if it is the fan or the drive.
Run some apps that make your CPU usage very high. This will increase the heat and the fan speed. Your noise should change if it is the fan.
You can remove the hard drive and just boot from the install DVD. If the noise is gone your HD was probably making it.
You can remove the keyboard (easy, just watch the YouTube "how to") and actually look at the fan. You can replace it yourself for that matter.

  • Macbook Pro 2010 Running Slow and Pulse/Click Noise (Not Hard Drive)

    Hello. My 13" Macbook Pro mid-2010 (7,1) suddenly began running slow and lagging on certain operations. There is also a light pulse/click noise coming from the center of the keyboard. I am sure this is not a failing hard drive. How, you may ask me, am I so sure??? Well, I originally thought it was a failing hard drive and so replaced the hard drive, and there was absolutely no change, and the lagging and noise still continues. This makes it very frustrating to do basic, low-memory-intensive things like browse on Safari or watch a movie.
    I have upgraded to Mavericks, and have 8gb Ram. This problem started suddenly about a month after upgrading to Mavericks. In fact right now my computer is lagging just typing this, Activity Monitor says I am only using 2.75 ram of 8gb.
    Steps I have taken with no resolution
    -Replaced the hard drive
    -Reinstalled OSX Mavericks
    -Verified and Repaired Permissions (I still get a message the the following item can't be repaired "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent". But I have read that this is a common thing and can be ignored.
    -Restarted the computer holding down left shift-option-control and the power key for 10 seconds (not sure exactly what this resets, but some type of system cache thing.
    -Reset the PVRAM stuff ( I restarted the computer holding down command-p-r. I'm not sure I did this correctly as it went to the firmware disk repair screen.
    Could there be a RAM issue? Does RAM start making noise when it goes bad? I bought my upgraded ram from ebay, it isn't the official Apple Store stuff. Could replacing the ram possibly help? My System Report tells me the RAM is OK.
    Putting a message on here for help is the last step before giving up. I can't do much with this computer because it is hiccupy and overall difficult.
    Thanks.

  • HT1338 MacBook Pro 13.3: Desktop screen will not come up when turned on.  Screen is blank except for an icon of a folder with a question mark on it, in the middle of an otherwise blank screen, laptop making a clicking noise.

    My MacBook Pro 13.3 MAC OS  X v10.7 laptop will not come up.  Blank screen comes up, no color/desktop, etc., only an icon of a folder in the middle of the screen with a question mark on the folder.  Laptop making a clicking noise. Suggestions? Thanks!

    It's under warranty. Take it in to have Apple fix it.
    The "flashing ?" means the machine can't find the start up disk. The clicking noise is a give away that the drive is damaged.

  • My 2012 MacBook Pro fell and it now makes a clicking noise and shows a grey screen on startup. I'm afraid the hard drive is damaged. Is their anyway to still back up my hard drive even if it doesn't turn on all the way?

    So my late 2012 MacBook Pro was sitting on my desk when the desk collapsed. The computer fell with it and I was quite scared at the moment, but thankfully I opened it up and it worked perfectly fine again.
    I was later watching a YouTube video and pressed the back button. The screen then froze, and I could not force quit safari. Then this weird clicking noise started to happen. It was coming from the right of the trackpad. That's when I decided to force shutdown the computer with the power button.
    I let it sit and then decided to turn it back on. The clicking noise then came back and there was just a blank screen on the boot up. Eventually a grey folder with a question mark started flashing on the screen. That was all it did so I decided to turn it off again.
    I'm going to take it into the Apple store ASAP, but I'm curious if my hard drive is damaged and if I will need a new one, which would erase everything on my Mac. So I was wondering if there is anyway to back up the hard driver even if it doesn't boot up all the way, or turn on the computer all the way.
    P.S. I have never backed up my hard drive so I wouldn't know what to do.

    You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.

  • Late-2011 MacBook Pro 13" Freezes with Clicking Noise

    Hi guys,
    I bought a MacBook Pro for my birthday in April earlier this year (the model is the Late 2011 i5 13 inch model). Recently I have been encountering a problem where randomly a clicking noise will start and repeat every 5 or so seconds. On top of this, the laptop completely freezes, with the spinning beachball, however I am still able to move the mouse around. The only way to get the clicking to stop and to restore functionality is to force shut down the computer by holding the power button, which presents the problem of potential work loss.
    I have searched the internet for people who are having similar problems and have come across some others who seem like they have the same problem, but I cannot be sure. Could this mean that my hard drive is failing? I'm certain that it's not the SuperDrive as I am still able to insert DVDs and hear the drive spin up and the laser assembly move while the clicking is going on. In the absence of other mechanical components in the computer (besides the fan), and with the freezing, I assume that the noise is coming from the HDD.
    Has anyone else had anything like this happen to them? And on top of that, is it worth taking it to a Genius Bar? As I do not have a way to reproduce the problem (it occurs at random with no obvious trigger), do you think they will be able to do anything, or am I on my own?
    Sorry for being a stereotypical 'register-only-for-help' person, but I rely on this MacBook for my college work and cannot afford for it to be broken.
    I hope you guys can give me advice.

    Okay, I'll backup my files and take it to the Apple store. Thanks for the help.

  • My MacBook pro I got last week makes random clicking noises..

    I recently got a MacBook Pro for my 18th birthday present. I turned it on and it started making random clicking noises. It doesn't do it consistently but very randomly and at weird times. Nothing in particular triggers the noise but I'm not quite sure what to do. Help?

    It sounds as if your heads are bumping up against the platters. You shouldn't be hearing it and it may be an indication of drive failure. If you haven't already done so, get an external hard drive and make backups of your hard drive using Time Machine or your backup method of choice. Then take it into your local Apple Store and have them run diagnostics. Don't attempt to use Disk Utility or any other utility to repair it.
    Good luck,

  • Hello, my 2012 MacBook pro makes a clicking noise

    Hello, my 2012 MacBook pro makes a clicking noise in the bottom right of my computer. The empty space below the keyboard where you are supposed to rest your hands. I press it and it sounds like something is snapping almost.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • Superdrive making clicking noise when my Macbook Pro is lifted

    Hello all,
    I recently had my New 13.3 in. Macbook Pro displayed replaced and now when I lift the Macbook, the superdrive makes a clicking noise similar to the sound when a dvd-rom can't read a disc. There is no dvd in the drive during this time. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with their Macbook Pro.
    I have another question, when I received my macbook with the replaced display, the display had several patches of dirt and an line scratch underneath the screen. Will apple replace the screen for me again or is it possible to have the entire macbook replaced? This is very frustrating to have to send in my brand new macbook for repairs twice in one month...
    Thank you advance for your help.

  • Hard drive making a scratching/clicking noise and Macbook playing up

    Hi all,
    I have had my Macbook for 2 years in March, and last night I discovered that my hard drive started making a scratching/whirring/clicking noise every now and then, also, it has been playing up really badly. It seems to be whenever I try to access certain files or applications, and if I do, my Macbook will completely freeze up and can take up to a minute or two to fix itself.
    So, in a panic, today I bought an external hard drive (a 1TB My Book for Mac) to back up in fear that my hard drive would crash, but whenever I tell Time Machine to back up, the progress stops in the same spot (1.09GB out of 105GB) and after a few minutes gives me an error message saying that the hard drive cannot be read.
    So, does anybody have any ideas as to what's going on? And if I take it into my nearest Mac repair shop (we don't have an Apple Store in my city) will they be able to fix it without losing too much of my data?

    Thanks (I hope).

    In this particular case, I would recommend that you get an inexpensive external enclosure for your current internal 2.5" drive. Then, pick up a new drive and do a fresh install of OS X on it. At this point, you may have enough damage that restoring from a TimeMachine backup (or a clone)may result in copying over corrupt data which might result in stability issues. Also, by limiting the use of your old drive (as in not trying to make a clone or TimeMachine back up)you'll reduce the chances of doing further damage. The fact that your machine still runs seems like there would be a good chance of recovering your data, but limiting the drives use is key. After you do the fresh install on the new drive, connect your old drive and grab your data from that. I would also suggest against actually doing a migration due to the potential for moving corrupt files from your old drive. At least this way you'll have a fresh new install of OS X.

  • MacBook Pro won't start at all - clicking noise with black screen

    Early 2011 MacBook Pro won't start: makes clicking noise after power button is held down, but no screen movement and after click, sounds like computer just stops working. Already did a SMC reset, and undid battery to try to run on charger power only. Same result every time. Also, my Apple Care expired 3 days ago. A few weeks ago had to repair a disk using Disk Utility because there was a discrepancy between how much storage was in the drive versus how much was actually being used.

    You likely have the problem that many of us 15" and 17" 2011 models are having: a faulty soldering GPU and as discussed here -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0. It usually, but not always, beings with screen glitches and then gets to the point where the machine will simply not boot.
    It's  ashamed that you're not longer under AppleCare which would have, at least, got you a new logic board. A new logic board, however, doesn't usually fix the situation - only a BGA Reballing of the GPU seems to have long-lasting fixes.
    Read through a few the articles (not all of them!) and make the decision yourself - and then make the decision about whom your going to contact.
    Good luck,

  • Clicking Noise in Macbook Air

    Starting just a couple of days ago, theres a very quiet clicking noise coming from inside my Macbook Air. The computer works just fine but there's a strange clicking noise coming from around the A key on the left side of the keyboard. It occurs freqently in about five second intervals. Every so often if I move my laptop, it'll make a really loud sound from the same part that lasts about 3 seconds. Has this happened to anyone? And what should I do about it?
    Thanks.

    It may or may not be a serious problem.
    I suggest contacting an Authorized Apple Service Provider for an initial diagnosis:

  • MacBook Pro making a clicking noise and won't come on

    My MacBook Pro is making a clicking noise when powering on and nothing comes up on screen. Did see a file folder with a question mark. That is it???

    Use ethernet for a while to verify this is really a problem with just the airport.

  • Clicking Noise in Macbook Pro...

    Hello there!
    I bought a 17'  Macbook Pro over summer 2011, it was fine until the night of the Solar Flare and now, left of the mousepad/trackpad, there is a constant clicking noise. It never stops. Should I be concerned? I do not want to send it to be repaired. Is there something I can do by taking the back off of it? Sending it across the country is not very appealing to me...

    Yes you should be concerned.  Left of the trackpad is your HDD.  Backup your data immediately.  A HDD should be very quiet with no clicking sounds.
    Open Disk Utility>First Aid.  Follow the instructions.  If you cannot correct the problem with Disk Utility, get a replacement HDD and install it.  The instructions are in your user manual. (Easier than sending away across the country and also consider one with larger capacity)
    If you find you need instructions on transferring the software and data, you can create a new post when the time comes.
    Ciao.

  • Worried about clicking noise / HDD head parking too often on new macbook

    I bought my macbook a few days ago. Generally it is very quiet, but sometimes when I am not doing much on it I hear these clicking noises from lower right part several times in a row. It is quite audible. How often is it normal for the HDD head to park, and is there a reason why it should do it like 10 times in a row in a short time period?

    un-install active protection system drivers.
    also, you can try to update first.
