Macbook makes weird clicking noises

i can't remember when this started, but randomly, my macbook will start to make weird clicking noises. it's not just when it's idle either, i'll be using it and it'll still make weird low "dddddddd" noises ><;; i don't think it's the fan b/c it's not the high pitched whirring...does anybody else have this problem???

This clicking sound is specifically from the hard drive in MacBooks. The model of the hard drive in my MacBook is the FUJITSU MHV2080BHPL. I've had this click for well over a year and it only shows up when my hard drive is having to do a lot of thrashing for virtual memory purposes. I consider it entirely benign and merely a consequence of the hard drive head moving back and forth across the drive. It is very rare. Fujitsu drives historically are very reliable (as opposed to the Hitachi/Travelstar IBM drives which are historically a POS).
Nevertheless! What is the first rule of computing? Quote after me: *'MAKE A BACKUP'*. There is no excuse for not making regular backups of your hard drive. If you don't, you get what you deserve. It's that simple. *All hard drives fail.* It's just a matter of when. These days hard drives are being made cheaply, with lower quality standards than in the past, therefore they fail much more readily. Even Seagate, which I considered the hold out quality hard drive maker on the market, have recently been putting out faulty drives. NEVER depend on your hard drive.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro make a clicking noise when i lift it up.

    Hi i just recently got a MacBook Pro. I get this weird clicking noise from the right side of the trackpad. I don't know why its doing this noise but i think its got something to do with the superdrive or cd drive. This only happens when i pick it up or rotate it around on my lap.

    Just to clarify... and in case you're not familiar with how hard drives work... There are metal platters in your hard drive that spin at either 5400 or 7200 times per minute (that's either 90 or 120 times per second respectively). There is a little read head that floats less than a papers width above that super fast spinning platter. If you bump your computer while the read/write head is over the platter, there is a chance it can bump into the spinning platter causing permanent damage to it. As a result, hardware manufacturers have developed ways to lock the head when a "sudden motion" is detected in order to reduce the chance of damage. In some cases (like the MacBooks), it is built into the notebook itself... in other cases, the technology is built into the drive. The clicking you hear, as others have indicated, is the sound of the drive head locking... it's a good thing.

  • Weird clicking noise on my MacBook Air! Please Help!

    Hello everyone, I have a 1 month old MacBookAir and I been having the same issue as many people with the weird clicking noise coming from the keyboard.
    I tried tapping it under the power buttom and it didnt't work, does anybody have any more ideas?
    Thanks so much for the help.

    Other users have claimed to have success with giving the laptop a swift smack on the bottom or on the side...  I am wondering if this problem is related to a loose audio cable with the internal speaker, resulting in a scrambled signal, producing surges in the speaker.   If the computer is under warrenty, you should take it in to have it looked at... If not,  You can open the  bottom case and check.

  • ITunes freezes when I connect my iPod/weird clicking noise

    Hi, recently I've tried connecting my iPod to my laptop and iTunes would freeze and task manager said it wasn't responding. In addition, when this happened, my iPod would make a weird clicking noise. I noticed this noise before when I had it on shuffle and would skip to a different song just after another song started. Does anyone know what's going on?

    Similar problem here:
    When I'm playing songs with iTunes and connecting my 3G 20GB iPod, my computer will hang up completely - screen goes dark and I have to reset my PC.
    However, when my iTunes is "idle", i.e. not playing a song or doing anything else, connecting and syncing the iPod will work just fine.
    I'm using the newest (6.x) Version of iTunes on WinXP SP2 with a 3G iPod 20GB.

  • Hard Drive Makes a Clicking Noise

    My Macbook Pro 2.53 Hardrive makes a clicking noise when I pick up my computer while its on. I know the disk is spinning but none of my other macs do this.

    Hi mattzarr, welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The clicking is just the sudden motion sensor in the computer parking the heads on the HD to protect your data from damage. When moving a spinning HD, there is always the possibility that the reading head (like the needle on a record player) may contact the spinning surface, causing damage. That clicking is the head parking away from the spinning disk, preventing it from damage.
    It is only found on Apple's notebooks, and was introduced sometime around the 3rd last Powerbook G4 generation, if I remember correctly.

  • Imac Weird Clicking Noises

    My iMac is making weird clicking noises when i first open a browser and continues sporadically with kinda screeching sounds. Also at start up I get a blue screen now? Has anyone had these similar problems out there and what did you do to fix them?

    These clicking noises often come from the hard drive and may indicate that the hard drive is dying.
    First, make a backup of your data with Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner onto an external drive. Then, open Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities), choose Macintosh HD in the sidebar, and verify the disk. What does it say? Also, you can check the SMART status in Disk Utility, selecting the hard drive at the top of the sidebar and looking at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.
    If it tells you that SMART has failed or that the disk is damaged, take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller to get the hard drive replaced

  • MacBook Overheating and Clicking Noise

    My MacBook has been incredibly sluggish, freezes all the time, gets really hot really fast and has been making a weird clicking noise. It's not the clicking noise when you move the computer around too fast from the HD but a different one. It's like someone is flicking the body of the MacBook. I've literally tried eveything but I have no idea what's going on. There's no virus, nothing is using up a large amount of space accroding to the activity monitor, I deleted all unnecessary files and repaired all the permissions as well as made sure the software is up to date. I'm using OS X 10.6.8. Any suggestions would be great!

    Could be fan failure inside.  That would explain the overheating and also the sound if the fanblades are hitting something as they spin.

  • Macbook pro occasional clicking noise

    I have a Mid-2012 Macbook Pro (not retina) that I purchased earlier this month. It would run silently but then after a while it started to make an annoying click every once and a while without a pattern. I've never heard any of my friends' MacBooks make this noise and my old white one did not make this noise either. I assumed the clicking wasn't normal so I took it in and they said there could be something wrong with my hard drive and gave me a new Macbook. Now I am using that Macbook and today it started making the clicking noise too. Is it normal for a Macbook Pro to make this clicking noise or do I have to take this one in too?

    The problem is that the HDD, Optical drive and fan are located next to each other.
    With the MBP in its normal oprating position, the Optical Drive is in the right hand corner near the display.
    Just to the left of it is the fan.
    The HDD is on the right side, nearest the operator, again adjacent to the Optical drive.
    Here is an image:
    Ciao.

  • Hard drive makes a clicking noise on Mac. (But still works fine on PC)

    When I plug my external hard drive into my PowerBook G4, it makes a odd clicking noise, the light flashes, and it never appears as a drive in my computer.
    This is a clear sign of a broken platter, but when I plug the same drive into my Windows laptop it works perfectly. All the files are there, no noticeable problems. (The hard drive is formatted to FAT32, so it should be working with both computers.)
    The USB ports are working fine on the Mac laptop, as I have tried the hard drive in each port and have the same problem, while I have tried other things in the ports and they work fine.
    Thanks!

    I have a very similar problem with an external hard drive that I recently purchased. It makes a clicking noise but doesn't show up on as a drive on the desktop. I have looked in Disk Utility to configure the drive but it doesn't show up as an option as well. I went to the manufacturer website for support and it tells me that this is expected and that the recommended solution is to "initialize (partition and format) the drive with the Mac OS using the OS disk utility. Following the initialization, the drive will be identified almost immediately upon being connected to the system." (I don't need to use the hard drive on a PC for any reason.)
    My question - is this safe to do? If so, how many times do I need to partition?

  • Dual G5 2.0 hard drive makes loud clicking noises after installing Leopard

    I installed Leopard on my Dual G5 2.0, did a clean install. Worked fine for a couple of days but now it is unusable, the hard drive makes loud clicking noises and the computer slows down, can't even properly shut it down. All worked perfectly with Tiger installed.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks and happy new year!

    Ha... "Cheers" is not convincing coming from an angry man like you.
    In English PC stands for Personal Computer:
    http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=personal%20computer
    and
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer
    So a Mac and a Windows Machine can both be a PC. In fact I believe Apple coined the phrase PC, but I could be wrong.
    I've been using Mac for 20 years, never had any issues. However my windows machines are very inefficient, it's difficult to get them to work with a printer, much less any of the multi media apps and equipment I use. My windows Machines are useful to me as test boxes and running some apps I don't have on my Macs. Sure Office works great on them, but I don't do spread sheets and such for a living.
    I'm sorry that you are having bad luck, or are you making this up? You are a apple rep? Do they know that you are posting on the Apple site and advising users to buy a PC, hmm George Lelapinou the French Apple hater?
    So, sorry old comrade but PC stands for personal computer, not Microsoft, and my PC is working 100% now, as my Macs always do, it appears it just needed to be cleaned. Now if only my crappy Peugeot would work after getting cleaned... I joke, I kid, iJoke.

  • ITunes makes metal clicks noises

    Sometimes my iTunes makes metal clicks noises when playing music and sometimes it does not. It seems related to an OS update issue. I use the USB audio Editor UA1D interface to listen my music so the bug may only occurs using USB audio. It is really tiny noises but if I pay attention they are hard to miss. Any one as experienced this problem?
    I have a Mac mini but I experienced the problem on my iBook too so it does not seem related to the hardware.

    Heey, I think I've solved it! It's that damned QuickTime 7. check out this link.

  • Brand new computer is super slow and makes a clicking noise

    My brand new computer is super slow and makes a clicking noise. Any suggestions? I have a lenovo X120e, purchased it around 2 months ago but due to moving across the country just started using it, not so happy so far but I would be happier if it would speed up a bit. Every click takes a while to register especially during browsing on the internet.
