Macbook Pro Retina 13" continuous idle fan noise

Hello,
My MBP has recently started emitting a constant noise as if the fan is rubbing. Have a listen to the noise here: https://soundcloud.com/adam-wilkie/fan-noise-2/s-VnBbe
It sounds mechanical and is constant from startup to shutdown and is really really annoying. I can hear it most of the time and it is especially audible in a quite room.
I have taken it too the Genius bar twice and they have run their diagnostic tests (which said everything was ok) and have cleaned it out but the noise continues.
Has anyone else had this issue?
If anyone could offer me some advice that would be great!
Thanks

Sigh, I guess I'll need to go to the store tomorrow to exchange it.
*****, because I don't have the keyboard/trackpad freezing issue and was able to install Windows 8.1 from USB using Boot Camp Assistant without any issues. Thought I got lucky until I found out about this issue.

Macbook Pro Retina 15 has a creaking noise even without touching it

These days I found that my macbook pro retina Early 2013 Model has a creaking noise when the CPU and GPU's temperature is going up to 50 degree Celsius, which should be normal temperature when you only run the machine for web browsing and video watching.
And I got this creaking noise sudden without my hand put on anywhere close to the machine, it came out itself. And I have checked that:
1. it is not the sound from the spring on the main board.
2. it is not from the buttom because I tried to removed the buttom and use the machine the noise still there
3. it is from all over the keyboard, most close to the screen.
I am doubting that it is because metal moving while heated.
And I made a video to record it then show it to "Genius" in apple store. But they claimed that they couldn't hear anything, since me and my friend have all comfirmed that it is exsisted!
Watch the video at max volum and at around 3 SECOND and 35 SECOND, there comes the noise.

See if any one got the same issue.
Thank you and wish you don't suffer from this.

Believe it or not, Flash REALLY isn't the issue.
It's hardware makers making devices with less processor performance and requiring software makers to fit into a certain requirements of such. Namely iPhone, iPods and iPads.
Flash is designed to give a lot of features and work across many operating systems, browsers and platforms as a write once solution.
Flash has a certain level of processor performance requirement, which hardware makers like Apple want to build less powerful machines using less expensive processors.
Apple has removed Coverflow 3D effects from iTunes and discontinued the 17" MacBook Pro, leaving only the 15" as having a more powerful 3D capable graphics capability.
So Apple is obviously on a anti-heat/performance quest as they further thin up their hardware, trying to kill Flash by punishing Mac users who want to run it.
Flash runs without a fan sound on my older Mac with dedicated GPU and older OS X verison, no sweat.
Head to your System Preferences > Energy Saver and if you have it, uncheck Automatic Graphics switching, this will use the dedicated GPU and shorted battery life, but if your on power should reduce the heat and fan noise.
Another option is to use SMC fan control and set the fan default speed slightly faster, this will keep the machine slightly cooler and not trigger the higher fan speed as often.
If your running 10.8, you will need to System Preferences > Security > downloads to "Anywhere"
SMC FanControl is over at MacUpdate.com.

Macbook Pro Retina 15' (early 2013) / Creaking noise and hinge loose

Hi,
After a couple of months of using my Macbook Pro Retina 15' (early 2013) started to creak when closing and opening. At first it wasn't loud but now, when im not using it for couple of hours and then try to open it creaks really bad. Also i've noticed that on the left side of the hinge i've got more space then on the right side. Unfortunately my guarantee is over and i live in country where we dont have Apple Stores, ony premium resellers, and their services aren't good. In the links below you can find pictures of this loose hinge. My question here is: Does anybody know what i can do, or maybe know what needs to be done. Before taking it to my "professional" service i would like to know what's wrong with my macbook, so they won't rob me

you can check with task manager if something running in the backgroup taking up much cpu usage
(cpu idle is not a program it's where all % not! used are shown)

Macbook Pro 15 Late 11 extreme fans noise when using external monitor

Dear Apple, recently I bought Macbook Pro 15 Late 11. I really love it's speed and new OS X Lion, BUT this Macbook really noisy when I use external monitor and keyboard. I work on external monitor all the time. I don't care about how hot my Macbook is when I'm on external monitor. Let it just be hot and quiet.
P.S. Example. I run Ableton Live and have 6200 RPM working on external monitor (awfully loud!). CPU 90% idle. When I switch off external monitor and use internal one, RPM drops down to 4500 with the same Ableton work session. By the way, I don't need cool graphic card. Apple, let our work days be quiet.

I did that and it didn't help. It's common problem with an external monitor. Here are some links:

MacBook Pro Retina crashes continuously

I have a new MacBook Pro 15" Retina. Version details below.
The machine crashes on a regular basis sometimes when I am using programs such as Chrome and Opera but more often when it goes into power saving mode. I always get the same GPU panic. See below.

What is frustrating me most is Apple's poor level of support and service. Having been a loyal Apple customer for some years now I expected they would be more responsive to helping me resolve this issue. Sadly not! I have had 5 calls with support where they have deleted files etc. but to no avail. They then raised a ticket and suggested I take into Genius bar, this was 6 weeks ago but to date I have been unable to get an appointment that fits in with my works schedule.
Looking at other posts it looks like there is a generic problem with one of the graphics controlers used in the machine causing the crash when the graphics switches. Unfortunatley Apple seem reluctant to acknowledge this and I have now been forced to use a substandard device (costing £2000) for over 3 months now.
Has anyone had any luck in getting Apple to resolve this issue as I suspect I am not alone with this problem guaging by other posts?
Off to NY this week, gounf to buy a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, Apple has had its day in my mind!

The log shows that the NVIDIA GPU is damaged. If you have a look, you can see "GPU Panic", which means that the GPU has failed.
As your MacBook Pro is in warranty, you can get it repaired for free at an Apple Retail Store or reseller. Print the log and take it with you. Also, make a backup of your files onto an external drive.
Unfortunatel,y that's what we can tell you to do now

Why is my macbook pro (2008/2009) making vibrating fan noises?

It just started making this rattling/whirring fan noise ... it's almost nonstop now... & very annoying!
Unrelated, but also annoying -- the screen flickers black sometimes.
Help!

You probably have a fan with failing bearings. It will need to be replaced. Fortunately, they aren't very expensive.

Macbook pro retina start to make loud fan noise and work slow

I bought macbook pro retina display less than one years ago. For some reason my macbook pro has been making loud fan noise for about five mounth. Whenever macbook pro makes the noise, all the programs start to run slow. Typing, opening safari, and etc takes forever. It takes 20min to 40min for the noise to stop. At first, the macbook pro made noise once or twice in a day, but now it's making the noise frequently; It happens every 2-3 hours. It got to the point where it start to annoying me. Is there a way for me to fix this issue? If not, can I use one year warrenty to fix this problem? Thank you.

If your Mac works slowly when fans turn on, it's quite possible that there's a process which is eating the CPU and/or RAM.
Open Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities), select "All Processes" above "Show" (in the toolbar) and then, order the processes by CPU usage. Do you see any process which is consuming more CPU or RAM? If so, tell us the name.
Additionally, you can reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

Fan noise on Macbook pro retina 15 on low speed!

Hi guys, I'm experiencing a constant low background noise from the left fan (as I'm looking at the screen). The noise is audible always even when the fans are working in their lowest speed possible the noise is there. It seems to me that that is a mechanical failure of the fan itself. It's like something is touching at the fan. When I'm slightly moving my laptop the noise is exaggerated seems like the rotor is going out of place and touching the surrounding structures. I bought the laptop on December and I didn't use it too much. I'm having a similar problem with my older MacBook Pro but the noise from the fans occurs only when I'm moving the laptop vertically and after five years off continues usage. It's anyone having a similar problem? Any advice? Should I replace the fan? Or should I take it to an authorized service?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
Thank you in advance

If it is under warranty, by all means take it in for service. If there is a mechanical deficiency, it should be repaired gratis. It does sound like an internal fan problem that needs to be replaced.
Ciao.

Fan like noise - Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch - late 2013 model

If I open Frontline Commando (game app) my brandnew Mackbook pro make fan like noise. (annoying and scary) Could anyone advice please?
my sys configuration:
Model - Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch - late 2013 model
RAM - 8 GB
Processor - 2.4 GHz intel core i5
OS - OS X 10.9.1

Normal during gaming use, fan noise.
A: you notice it more in a quiet room (the typical case) which is normal, all is AOK
B: fuzz and dust has caked onto the blades causing the fan hub to get off balance and make a buzzing sound.
C: fan rotor is going bad and making a whirring or buzz noise (rare).
D: Fan is spinning up due to excess heat from gaming, heavy graphics gaming (typical, all is OK)
A and D are normal
B and C are not.

Brand new macbook pro retina - fan noise when running hola?

Hi everyone, I need some help here please!
I have a brand new macbook pro retina 13 - just bought in January this year - and have had no problems so far apart from the wifi dropping occassionally.
So I just downloaded hola unblocker for firefox but whenever I stream anything using it on netflix my fan starts whirring so loudly - it's never even made a noise before! and I can feel the base of the mac getting hotter. So I've closed hola/firefox and it stops after a minute or so. I've tried a few times again with the same problem.
I'm just using it to watch US netflix so probably not technically legal anyway.... but other friends manage it no bother - do mac's just know I'm doing something wrong? haha
Thanks for any advice.

Try running Activity Monitor (in the Utilities folder). Click the Energy button at the top and then stream a video. Watch the Energy Impact.
I suspect what you'll see is that your rMBP is doing a lot of work while you're streaming the video, and that makes it get hot. The fan struggles to dissipate the resulting heat in order to prevent damage and makes noise in the process.
It may also have a guilty conscience.

Any problems with heat and fan noise on Guild Wars 2 Macbook Pro retina?

I am thinking to start Guild Wars 2 Mac beta on my Macbook pro retina, but i have been reading in different forums that it heats up the system and that the fan kicks off really loud when playing the game. Anyone has any experience on this? Any guild wars 2 gamers please give me some feedback.

I have been playing GW2 for a while now on Beta. The game runs choppier than windows but I think that's because it's a Beta version. I bet after they finish optimizing it things should change, even heat.
As for the heat, it gets super hot. So hot the keyboard gets hot, and when I push in the keys, I feel heat. It's warm enough to cause concern. I don't know if it's bad or not, but the dude at the Apple Genius/Store said, the MBPR knows when it gets too hot and it'll let you know. He said if it plays and nothing is warning me then it's fine. The MBPR won't allow itself to go to catastrophic failure due to heat.
So I took his advice and have played. Just Monday (October 1st 2012) I played for a good 5 hours non-stop and nothing came up so if the Apple Genius guy is correct then I wouldn't worry about it. I do have AppleCare so if something does fail then I will blame the apple genius guy.
It's a fun game, my first MMO, but it's too hard for me sometimes. I don't like that

Hi everybody , i want to buy macbook pro retina but i wonder if he make noise or get hot ?

hi everybody , i want to buy macbook pro retina but i wonder if he make noise or get hot ? i don't use game or heavy program.

The only 'noise maker on a retina MBP are the fans. The will speed up if there is a need to dissipate heat.
The MBP will become hot if CPU/GPU intensive applications are in use. That is expected and normal.
