Noise coming from the bottom of my mac?

There's a noise coming from the base of my early 2013 Mac Book Pro Retina. When I'm resting it on my lap or pick it up it sounds like a spring sound and occasionally I can here it when I'm typing and push down a little hard on the t, y and u keys. Do you think it would be possible to take this in to an Apple store and get it replaced or changed? Not effecting performance but expect better for paying upwards of £2000. Still within the 1 year warranty. Thanks.

Aside from the fan, there should be no noises emanating from a retina MBP. Your MBP comes with a warranty. By all means take advantage of it and make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

Some Kind of huge Noise coming from the Disc Drive while inserting and ejecting the disc.

Some Kind of huge Noise coming from the Disc Drive while inserting and ejecting the disc.
i have just purchased it before a couple of days a go.

I just installed a Mac Pro for a client. After a while I noticed this buzzing everyones talking about. It was especially bad after I installed two more internal drives. It seemed to come and go with HD activity. I pulled up the lever on the back of the machine when it was particularly loud and the buzzing went away. So like some others have noticed it's associated with the HD bays. I took the side off and adjusted the seating of the drives so they were exactly centered Now the buzzing is gone. I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe it will need some kind of silicone bumpers where the bay trays are metal to metal.
More research to come.

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.

I am under apple care for a good amount of time but am wondering if this is a mjor issue. I would not be able to get to an apple care center in the near future due to being at school. Should I be worried or will it last by the time I am home in 2 months.

Sounds like the disk in your MBP is accessing data on wake up
If you are still concerned you can take it into the Apple Store where they can hear it to be sure

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks

When I turned on my computer this morning it had a new noise coming from the top of the screen at the back. Not loud but almost whirring. What might this be ?

Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
I just found an answer !
I had moved my computer into another room and had to turn up the brightness, as I have always had it on the lowest setting. In doing so it created the noise, I turned it right down and it stopped. I have now set it about level 3 so it's not so distracting.
thanks

My Compaq Presario C700 shuts down at randomly and there is no noise coming from the machine at all

My laptop will only turn on for about ten minutes before dying, it doesn't even go through the usual shut down process, it just turns off. Also, there is no sound of a fan or any humming coming from the computer. Before this problem of the random shutting down started, there was always a humming sound coming out. This happened to the computer about a year ago, and I gave it into PC World (Ireland) and they wiped the system and it worked again. So, the minute I saw the same thing happening I backed everything up and wiped it myself, I set up my user in vista again, but the computer was the same and was turning off randomly.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed?? Thanks for your help.
PS: It's A HP Compaq Presario C700 Series Notebook running Windows Vista Home Premium.

There may be a real hardware issue (like spanning above mentioned.) When I lose sound on my phone, here are the things I try, in no particular order:
If you use Apple TV, open a movie file (you tube, music video, anything you can play over Apple TV.) Switch to Apple TV playout and then switch back to your phone. If you left the phone going out to Apple TV, it may have kept the sound routing there -- switching back and forth again should reset it back to playing to your iPhone speakers.
If you use headphones, stick the headphones in and out again. Same kind of idea, the headphone detection may have been incorrect, and the toggle in & out will help it reset back to your speakers.
If you play games, go into a game with sound and adjust the volume there. There are actually three different volume settings (as far as I have experimented with) ringer, "normal" volume, and game volume... it's a little buggy figuring out which one your phone should be using

MBP late 2011 - Weird digital noise coming from the top left speaker zone

Hello, it doesn't matter if the volume of the speakers is muted, doesn't matter if the volume is at maximum position or at the middle position, the noise will come whenever it wants, at the same very loud level. When the noise begins, the coloured disk appears, and the OS is freezing. Updating to the latest version of Lion didn't help. The hardware test, short or extended did not find anything wrong. Also resetting pram/nvram didn't help. Sometimes, and especially at startup, before the boot sound, the speakers can be heard popping/clicking. Even if it comes from the left speaker zone, i guess it's not from there, because this weird sound can be heard even through the hole of the network adapter, but any other sound when playing music comes only from the speaker, the LAN adapter hole is quiet (funny, isn't it?). This noise can be also described like the sound of an old printer... or almost like a Spectrum loading from tape...
But there is no problem at all in Bootcamp using Windows 7. I still need to use OS X, can anyone help?
Bellow You can hear the noise for Yourselves:

In my macbook pro retina display 15"l there is a constant clicking noise, coming from the left side of the computer. Any ideas ?

It goes on constantly while the computer i s on, with like a 2 second delay, and to be honest it's driving me mad. I may just end up taking it in, but if I have to get it replaced I dont want to lose all my files and programs.

You should have a backup in the first place. If you don't, buy an external drive (they're inexpensive these days) and make a Time Machine or a clone backup (using Carbon Copy Cloner).
Then take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and let them diagnose the computer. See if they can isolate what may possibly be making the 'clicking' sound.

Noise every 13 seconds from the bottom-right speaker

Dear Apple Community Members,
I recently bought an iMac (27-inch, Late 2012) two weeks ago and I noticed last week a small noise coming from the bottom-right of the screen (every 13 seconds). As far as I know, that's also where one of the speakers is located. I tried to turn the speakers off, but that doesn't stop it. If you don't know it, you won't hear it. But once you heard it, it is getting really disturbing in a quiet environment because you will always pay attention to it.
Any idea what it could be and if I should send it back? If needed I can try to record the noises.
Looking forward to reading you.
Best,
J.

Sound is coming from the ear-piece and its really really low

Title pretty much says it.
My iPhone is acting really weird ever since this morning, sound isnt coming from the bottom speakers anymore but instead from the ear-piece and its really low.
I tried resetting the phone with holding down the home and sleep button at the same time but its still the same.
Anyone else having this problem?

Connect the headset to a computer or stereo or anything else with 3,5mm minijcack to see if the headset is ok of they work there then your headset is defect if not your phone is the problem

Whirring noise coming from HP Touchsmart 520

Hi there,
There is a whirring noise coming from the back of my PC. It gets slightly louder if performing a task, ie web browsing! Could you possibly let me know what the problem may be?
Many thanks

I have read your post on how there is an unusual noise coming from your computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Since the noise is coming from the back of the computer, I recommend following this document on Reducing Heat Inside the PC to Prevent Overheating. This should help prevent the fan in the back from overworking.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Scratchy noise coming from air

It started just a couple days ago , when i heard a scratchy noise coming from the left corner. It stopped and now it just sounds like a fan is constantly going. Any ideas?

sending an audio file would be a nice option on this forum :-)
I suggest you stop using it to limit the damage and take it to the Apple Store for check up.
Seem like a fan issue and we cannot do much about it here.

Can you mitigate noise coming from a cRIO?

Hi, we are using an 9012 cRIO controller and a 9112 chassis with a 9477 module. We have encountered some noise coming from the cRIO and are wondering how to mitigate it. Any suggestions?? John JSC/NASA

Where are you seeing the noise? Are you reading a sensor?
There are many things that can cause noise: ground looping, not using shielded wires. Running signal wires next to AC. radio frequency noise the list goes on forever.
