MacBook makes new whoosh sound when opening

MacBook makes a new sound when I open the cover..... Like a woosh, which it never used to do before.  Is there any way to turn off?

If this was my MBP, I'd return it and ask them to fix it correctly, and if they can't, ask about a replacing it (I would miss it while it was gone, but I'd still be able to work on one of my other Macs. If you can't afford the time without it, your situation might be different; obviously that's your call.)

  • MacBook Pro 13 - Clicking Sound When Opening

    I have a MBP 13 that runs perfectly. However recently I noticed a "clicking" sound when I open the display. The noise (a single click) appears to come from the upper right hand side of the screen. Any ideas on whether I should get this checked out?

    You should take it to an Apple store or an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) Carefully inspect the hinge joint and make sure there is no debris that you can see, you can try carefully sliding some sticky tape thru the joint to clear any loose stuff out. But this sounds like there might be more going on here, and the hinge is something that you do not want to fool with.

  • New mail doesn't make the "new mail sound" when received

    Hi! I have a .mac email account, and I use two different aliases for the account. I want all the mail sent to one of the aliases to go into a designated mailbox. I've tried doing this with both a smart mailbox and using a rule to move the messages to a mailbox on my .mac account (not both at the same time, I've tried it separately both ways).
    Both of these options work, except that mail will not make the "new mail" sound when I get a new email for that mailbox. Even when I add to the rule that it should make a sound, it doesn't. Other mail (i.e., all of my other mail that is delivered normally to my inbox) is not affected--I still get the normal sound. Any ideas? Thanks! (And BTW, I always give points for helpful answers!)

    You’re welcome.
    Actually, I don’t participate here just to be helpful. I also do it to learn. I know WAY more about Mail now than I knew when I started helping people here... and without having experienced myself any of the problems I troubleshoot each and every day...
    I really wanted an answer.
    That’s precisely why you shouldn’t say in advance that you’ll give points. Nobody is going to assume you won’t, so there is no need to say you will. All you have to do is mark posts when appropriate (without saying in advance that you will). That makes everybody happy.
    don't you ever get frustrated by the number of people who don't
    mark helpful or solved answers as such?
    Not if the OP somehow lets me know whether the proposed solution worked or not. Sometimes I know for sure what the problem is and how to solve it, but others I don’t, and the user’s feedback is way more valuable to me than any points I could get.
    So yes, merely setting up a smart mailbox is enough to make Mail
    to quit making the sound.
    I’ve been unable to reproduce what you describe, but I’ve found something that could be related. Selecting an IMAP (or .Mac) mailbox causes Mail to check for changes made to that mailbox, including checking for new mail and applying rules as appropriate, just like it would do when automatically checking for mail according to your settings, except no sound is played if new mail arrived...
    Could that be what you’re observing, i.e. could it be that Mail is actually behaving as expected but it seems that it isn’t because you’re checking for new mail as a result of manually selecting the account’s Inbox or something like that?

  • Light clicking sound when opening display ?

    HI everyone,
    My Macbook Air make a cliking sound when i open up the display, when I hit the fully extended position (this happen even if I open the laptop very slowly). I had the display changed TWICE because of this issue and it just came back on the third display. Does every other MacBook Air out there does this sound ? I went to the Apple Store and one of the two Air on expo did it.
    Thanks for imput !
    Chris

    My MBA is silent on opening, MtlChris, so not all.
    I think though that going through multiple repairs on the same laptop a frustrating process. I'd just persevere with Apple service until your issue resolved.

  • After updating to Mavericks MAIL no longer issues a "whoosh" sound when sending mail.  Can I get it back?

    If restarting did not resolve the issue, open Mail Preferences and make sure the box next to "Play sounds for other mail actions" is checked.

  • Click sound when opening/closing cover

    I've had the ipad 2 and Apple cover for 2 months.  When I first got it, there was a click sound when opening or closing the cover.  There is no sound anymore when opening/closing.  Did I change a setting somehow which caused this?

    On the new iPad, the switch next to the volume rocker has two functions, depending on how you have it set in 'Settings.'  There's a section in General called Use Side Switch to:.  You can either use it to Lock Rotation or Mute.  When it is set to Lock Rotation and the switch is pushed to the left, yes, the rotation is locked, but when it is set to Mute, and the switch is pushed to the left, all sounds are muted, including the sound for when closing the cover.

  • Why system alarm sound when opening an app on my MBP 13"?

    Recently started to hear system alarm sound when opening an app., eg. Mail, Safari (usually from the Dock). No apparent operational problem, but quite annoying, especially since I don't know why. Happens on my 13" MBP, but not on my iMac, both running ML 10.7.4.
    Repair Disk Permissions and Verify Disk both OK.
    Any clues from anyone??

    Disable: Play user interface sound effects in System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
    If that doesn't make a diffeence, check your Dashboard widgets.

  • Does your Macbook make Random Popping Sounds?

    Hi all, does your Macbook make random popping sounds, on startup and periodically when your using your MB. I have this issue with two macbooks and i can't seem to find many other people who have this problem. I'm unsure whether it's the audio popping issue mentioned in other threads because this happens when no external speakers are plugged in. It's just pops away on it's own and it's driving me mad, i can't even pin it down to a specific task because it;s so random.
    Both of my Macbook are operating under 10.4.11.
    Arrrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh

    Actually now that you've mentioned it, mine sometimes randomly makes the popping sounds, more to the likes of 'clipping' of speakers. But the odd thing is, mine only pops when connect my speakers (it's a Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 setup which i purchased over 6 years ago) - and the speakers have been fine all these while? I am positive that it's not my speakers because just recently (2-3 days ago) my brother brought his HP laptop and used my speakers and i did not hear anything even after he left his inferior (haha kidding) laptop on my desk to have a smoke without any music/sound coming out of the speakers.
    To be more precise. my popping sound occurs specifically (as I haven't tried others) as I pause my music on iTunes. It does annoy the h*ll out of me and I really assumed that it was my speakers.
    At least I'm not alone now. My Macbook specs are listed below.

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • where can I download new mail sound when new mail comes in?

    where can I download new mail sound when new mail comes in?
    Thank you,
    BigBlaze

    Go to Mail Preferences, use the drop-down "new mail sounds". The very last option is ADD/REMOVE. You can choose a sound that will be copied to your own User Library.
    To find how many sounds you already have on the computer (TONS if you have any games) just to a search the computer for aiff or aif. Copy the file you like to the desktop so you can find it easily, and add it using the above instructions.
    The sound gets copied to your library, so you can delete the desktop file when you're done.

  • I've lost the 'whoosh' sound when I send mail.  How do I get it back?

    I used to have a 'whoosh' sound when I sent mail but it has disappeared.  How do I get it back?  I'm using a version 10.9.1 Maverick upgrade.

    Thanx Tony T1.  I have been having issues with mail ever since I 'upgraded' to Mavericks.  Why doesn't Apple leave things alone?  Now I often can't scroll in Mail and have to shut down and restart Mail to get it to work.  That never happened until the Mavericks 'upgrade'. 

  • How do I get my I-pad Air to not make a "doonk" sound when charging?

    How do I get my I-pad Air to not make a "doonk" sound when charging?

    Actually, you can turn the sound off by muting system sounds. Read this.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • My Pixma 922 makes a scratchy sound when printing

    Why does my Pixma 922 make a scratchy sound when printing?  It just started today, and I have cleaned the rollers, the bottom tray (which is the only tray I use), I have aligned the printer heads, and unclogged the cartridges.  I have troubleshooted the printer and it states all is okay?  Nothing is wrong with the printing images and no half printed testing pages.
    Assistance please and any ideas will be marvelous!

    Hi 4Adonai,
    There is a setting the in the printer driver that may resolve this issue, "Prevent Paper Abrasion".  To enable this, please follow these steps:
     1.  Click on Start and then Control Panel.
     2.  Click on Printers.
     3.  Right click the PIXMA MX922 and left click on Printing Preferences.
     4.  Click on the Maintenance tab.
     5.  Click on the Custom Settings button.
     6.  Place a checkmark next to Prevent Paper Abrasion.
     7.  Click OK.
     8.  Click Apply (if available) and then OK.
    Attempt to print.  The noise should be gone when printing.
