Noise when turning on

Just received macbook pro in mail yesterday..everytime i turn it on it makes a whirring noise that doesn't sound right. It sounds as tho the computer is straining everytime it turns on. Is there supposed to be a noise? and if not is there anything i can do about it?

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions...
No, there should not be any noise when you startup the MBookPro.

    Does anyone's iPad make a screeching noise when turning off

    No. And what does "message comes" mean?

  • Two iMac's 24 inch make soft rattling-kind-of noise when turned OFF !?

    Apple-helpdesk Holland has no records of this "complain":
    Me and my colleague have bought a new iMac 24 inch two months ago.
    When our Mac's are turned OFF they keep making a very soft continuously rattling-kind-of noise, even after a couple of hours being turned OFF.
    The sound is NOT annoying, we just want to know if its normal and our Mac's won't quit working in a few months because of a defect related to this noise.
    At the Appledealer there's too much noise in the shop to notice this sound.
    My Mac (CTO 2GB) was shipped in from the East and my colleague bought hers three weeks later directly in the Apple-store.
    Needless to say; we live in different houses. Neither of us have connected devices to our Mac's.(only the internetkabel is connected)
    When we pull the plug out of the socket, the sound dissapears.
    I think that it would be too much of a coincidence that we both have the exact same defect in our Mac, so probably there are other iMac 24 inch owners with good hearing who can confirm this very soft continuously rattling-kind-of noise when de Mac is turned OFF.
    You really have to put your ear close to the top-ventilationsplit on the backside to hear this sound.
    Please let me know if you hear this very soft continuously rattling-kind-of noise aswell !
    Thanks a lot!

    This is the PPC G5 iMac forum, you need to post to the intel forum HERE.
    Good luck,

  • Ipod HD makes cracking noises when turning..

    My HD makes cracking noises when I try to search a song, or photo..
    I have him for 3 weeks now, and he didn't do it before. It just sounds like normal hard-drive sounds my old computer makes, but in my opinion it's not normal.
    anyone experience with this?

    I had that problem too before.
    I waited for 2 days and it stopped.
    My friends banged it on the floor and it was perfect (exepet for a small dent.)

  • Scraping noise when turning MacBook Pro

    I recently had my computer in to the Apple store to replace the battery. Since the replacement I have noticed a strange noise that happens if I turn the computer sideways. It is a loud scraping sound. I will be taking it back to the store to have them take a look at it but judging from similar threads it could be any number of things. Just want to get an idea whether anyone else has experienced this issue.

    I've not experienced this issue, but there should not be any noises, no matter which position you use your MBP. Visit your Apple Store again, and have them fix the issue.

  • Strange Noise When Powering Off

    This just started this morning. It makes a really odd noise when turning off. Any ideas? I have no idea what I have done if anything at all.

    Just started. Did you do any updates yesterday? Just start with a reset, hold the top sleep/wake button down and then Home button down at the same time until you see then white apple logo.

    It may very well be a RAM issue but possibly something else.  Look over this extensive troubleshooting document for a possible solution:

  • My ipods screan is black and it wont turn on but it still makes a noise when i plug it in to the charger. can anyone help?

    my ipod isnt turning on but it still makes a noise when i plug it into the charger can anyone help me?

    Hey there cameronw99,
    It sounds like you are unable to see your iPod Touch screen, as it stays black but it makes the connection tone when you plug in the USB cable. Use these steps to resolve the issue with the iPod from the following article:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    chttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • My CD drive keeps making strange noises when macbook first turns on or wakes from sleep

    Any ideas?

    It started a few months ago, but I got the macbook about 3 years ago. It seems that it doesn't make noises when there is a disc inserted, but when it's empty it does (very embarrassing in a quiet library!) - it's almost like it's satisfied when full of food, but it rumbles when it's hungry. Any ideas?

  • Is it normal for the MacBook Pro to make noises when I put it to sleep?

    I apologize for posting a new question so soon, but I wanted to get my technical problems with my MacBook Pro sorted out before I go back to school.
    I'm worried about this one thing that happens when my MacBook Pro goes to sleep. After I close the laptop and it goes into "sleep mode" every few minutes or so it makes this noise like it keeps on turning on then going back to sleep, turning on then going back to sleep. It never did this before. Does anyone else hear these weird noises when it's in sleep mode?
    For some reason it does not make these noises when I press the power button, and then press sleep. So this confuses me.

    I have the same problem after just having my logic board replaced.

  • Re: Satellite L500 - Crackling noise when audio is being reproduced

    Hi all,
    I bought a L500 a few weeks ago (Windows 7 64bit). Everything goes fine except for the sound. 1h or so after turning on the computer, the speakers start to produce a "crackling", "metallic" noise when audio is being reproduced, irrespective of the source (CDs, system sounds, movies, mp3 files...). It's just like there were hundreds of "micro-interruptions". The same with earphones. This seems also to affect any multimedia files, e.g. videos 10 min length take 12 min or so to play due to these micro-interruptions. The sound goes worse with the time and gets normal once the system is restarted, but some minutes later the noise comes again.
    I've all the last Toshiba driver updates, including BIOS, LAN and sound cards, etc.
    What can I do? Any clue will be welcome.
    Many thanks in advance.

    hello,
    first thing i would try is to replace the driver from toshiba with the Microsoft driver, I personally dont use any of toshiba's drivers due to branding i dislike, however this to one side I run Windows 7 64 Home Prem, the sound cards (typically realtek) all have Microsoft drivers available, they work with no problem for me.
    If its deferntly not a driver issue and you have the same problem with headphones as well as the laptops speakers then its a problem with the soundcard itsself.
    Is your laptop still under warranty? hopfully if its hardware its still under warranty. Give toshiba a call, they should pick the laptop up and get it repaired for you solong as you did not get it from somwere like P.C World, AOL etc, if you got it from one of them stores then you need phone or take it to the tekguys.
    If you need a step-by-step for using microsofts drivers just reply saying so and i;ll sort that for you :)
    cheers

    You can check the general sound volume by putting the phone to sleep, hit the power button, then double tap the home button. The volume slider comes up, drag it all the way to the right.
