Some strange sounds coming from my laptop...

Hi, there. Lately my iBook G4 laptop has been making some odd noises, and I was wondering if they were serious. First, sometimes when it is lifted, such as from a lap onto a desk, the cd drive sounds like it is attempting to eject a CD, but there isn't one in the drive. This has been going on for about a month, but only happens occasionally and not every time it is lifted, so I kind of forgot about it. Today, I noticed another noise that sounded like the back-and-forth motion of an inkjet printer head, coming from roughly the center of the computer below the keyboard. It was sitting on my lap at the time and the noise stopped when I put it on my desk. It wasn't loud, but it wasn't the type of noise you would want to hear coming from your computer. I think there may be a part loose that is causing the noises.
The laptop was purchased new in mid-2005, and had been upgraded from 256MB to 1GB RAM last year. I'm very gentle with it, close the lid slowly and carefully after shutting down, and on the rare occasions when it leaves my desk it travels in a padded case to prevent it being jostled or damaged. It had been dropped once by a careless friend over a year ago, but it seemed fine and I noticed no problems with it afterwards or up until now. I don't use p2p programs or make changes to the operating system files, though I do have a few custom icons (only on folders on my desktop) and fonts. I have about 16GB of free space out of 60. I don't think software would be the cause of the issue, but you never know.
Right now I'm backing up my files on a 320GB SeaGate external drive, in case my problem is catastrophic and I need to format or my drive fails. What would be the best way to back up everything I need to make my computer exactly how it was before a format? Right now I am copying the Macintosh HD folder right onto my external drive. Is there a better way to do it that will allow me to easily replace libraries, preferences and settings along with my personal documents? My father mentioned "imaging" or "ghosting", but he works with PCs and I'm not sure how to do that on a Mac.
So anyway, here's a post summary. My computer sometimes tries to eject a CD that isn't there when it is moved, and today it made the aforementioned "inkjet printer head" noise until I put it on a level surface. What should I do, send it in to have a tech look at it? Since it seems to me like a hard drive issue, what's the best way to back up my computer such that all my preferences, bookmarks, libraries, and settings can be easily restored? My apologies if my post seems lengthy, I just wanted to give as many details as possible to provide background and be specific.

I've noticed a similar issue.
My external speakers blew recently, and up until this point I've never had a problem listening to audio. So I started using my internal speaker until I found new external speakers. Now the internal speaker is blown as well, after only a few days of use. Audio comes out of the internal speaker as clicks (cah-chunk).
I'm wondering if there were some updates recently that caused this. I basically have no audio on my Mac Pro now, which is really aggravating.
I have the early 2009 Mac Pro

  • Chit chat sound coming from hp 15 r007tx laptop

    I had bought an hp r007tx laptop 5 month ago. For the couple of month it works fine and after that i notice a chit chat sound is coming from my laptop at booting time( in fact ,it always comes when my laptop is in processing means everytime when i scan my laptop for viruses by an anti-virus program or copying files from one place to another place on hard disk) . The intensity or loudness of sound is not very much , you can hear it only when you takes your ears down beneath the laptop or working in very silent conditions. First of all i think that may be all the laptops used to produce this type of sound, so i check different laptops of my friends but i found that no one laptop is making the same(i also check the same model laptop of my friend).That's why i went to service center and told them the problem, then they said that it is an hard disk issue . So they replace my hard disk. When i fetch my laptop from service center and install the o.s , I experienced the same problem. So i don't know what is the actual problem in my laptop , please help me in sorting this type of problem.

    All hard drives making some sounds , that is normal , even brand new ones.
    If you want dead silence get SSD.

  • Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

    I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

    It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
    Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)    
    In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device. 
    Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
    Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
    I hope this helps.
    (I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different) 

  • I have a strange noise coming from within my 2011 iMac Desktop.

    I have a strange noise coming from within my 2011 iMac Desktop. This started 1 week ago and is intermittent. It sounds like an electronic drill. I have removed all external connections and powered up the Mac and just left  it running. Some 2 hours later the noise started. On hitting the space bar on the keyboard the noise stopped. I did a similar test and the noise started within 2 minutes so I have discounted any overheating issues.
    With keyboard activity there is an increase in the frequency of this fault.
    If you open safari when the fault reappears the URL web link text starts flashing at the same frequency as the noise. This fault can appear with or without the noise.
    I’ve been typing these details out on Word and as soon as I went to save  the document the noise started  and as soon as I hit the OK option in the save window the noise ceased.
    Any thoughts will be appreciated.

    I think this issue might be related to my wireless Keyboard. have just noticed that certain combinations of keys do not work. The Right hand shift + ? didn't work but started this noise. Hit another key and the noise stopped Also I have problems using the right hand shift key with the letters  Y, H & N , they don't work and are all in line.
    So I'm taking the keyboard back to John Lewis. it will be easier to carry that the screen !!

  • Sound coming from headphone jack becomes heavily distorted at the slightest movement of the headphone cable.

    I use headphones almost exclusively of my Macbook Pro (Early 2011, way out of warranty) so this has really been annoying me. For about 1-2 weeks now whenever the wire from the headphones I have plugged in to the jack moves, even slightly, the sound coming from the left side disappears almost entirely while the sound from the right side becomes quiet and filled with static. Strangely, it doesn't appear to happen with everything that I'm doing on my computer. For example when playing games the sound seems to work just fine for the most part, but playing music or watching Netflix causes issues whenever the cord moves, which is really annoying.
    To get it to stop, I have to move wiggle the plug around in the jack and slowly move the cord into a place where it will not be affected by movement very easily. I read that some people have been able to get around this by buying an external sound card and using the headphone jack on there, but I'd rather not do that if possible as there isn't really anywhere that I can put it without most likely picking up some interference. Plus I only have two USB ports, so I have to use a powered USB hub thats about 2-3 feet away from my computer for most things. Anyone know if this is a viable solution or how much it would cost to fix at the Apple Store?

    Also, I have tried restarting my computer, messing with the audio settings, and various other settings that I thought might help.

    Hi
    It's likely your fan,  It always runs on a MBA.  Mine is very quiet, others report some noise - here is one link.  There are lots of others.
    Hope this helps

  • Harsh rattling sound coming from fan.

    Normally, when I use an application that requires a lot of CPU power or when I'm watching a YouTube video, the internal fan speeds up to 6000+ RPM but it started sounding weird the past week. Right when I "wake up" my MacBook from sleep, I here a faint rattling sound coming from where the fan should be but it disipates after a few minutes. When I view a video though, the rattling becomes a bit louder combined with the normal sound of the fan. Also, I noticed when I picked up my macbook when its fan was going fast and tilted it to its sides, the rattling sound corresponds with the movement of the computer (louder each time I tilted it left to right).
    Could the fan be broken/loose? I sprayed some air into the keyboard to get rid of dust but nothing changed. I recently ran out of my Applecare warranty last September. Thanks in advance!

    Hey
    Sorry to say but you could be looking at a hardware problem. That being said there are still things you can  try.
    Try this artile: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 for an SMC reset.
    If that does not work make sure all of your software is up to date. If it is, you may have a hardware problem.
    Run the Apple hardware test that came on the disc with the computer to see if it comes up with anything... Although sometimes it doesn't even if there is a problem.
    Regards,
    Britt.

  • Sound coming from iMac

    I bought my iMac 27" this past December.  Recently I started hearing a stuttering sound coming from the unit.  It sounds like a fan, but I'm not sure.  This happens sporadically, in sleep mode, or while in use.  Its not an audible sound, put the sound of a part moving or struggling to move. Has anyone experienced this?

    cujaflow wrote:
    What i meant is that it is not a system sound or alert or sound coming from the speakers.  I apologize, that is confusing.  In sleep it just sounds like a moving piece sputters, then it stops moving and is silent.
    Still confusing me.  Can you hear it during sleep (which I doubt) or just at the time of going to sleep?
    If the latter and while awake it could be a fan or the drive.  iStat Pro will give you some fan speeds and temperatures.  But unless the fan is running at a high speed due to some higher temperature (which would both be indicated by iStat Pro) it doesn't sound like what you are describing.  Of course iStat Pro is a good thing for you to have anyhow.
    The fan bearing may be starting to go, or fan blade sligtly rubbing on it's housing.  These can happen and by your description don't sound too serious (...yet).  Similarly for the hard drive's bearing.

  • There is no sound coming from my ipod!!

    Hi, I am using an itouch 2nd gen. and there is no sound coming from it when i attach my ear phones to it. I have reset the settings, restored it, switched it off many times, still nothing. The earphones are working just fine. Some help would be great!! Thanks!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod. Not clear if you did that type of restore
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. I would say not worth it for a 2G iPod
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    Replace the jack yourself

  • Sound coming from back side of Iphone 5.

  • Buzzing sound coming from MSI GTX 280

    Hi guys,
    I purchased a new PC with a MSI GTX 280 OC and I got a buzzing sound coming from the case.
    I get the buzzing sound changing frequencies with certain 3D applications (games), windows vista screensavers, windows aero... i also hear when when resize/minimize/maximize the windows.
    I thought it was PSU related, as it was the gfx card pulling power, but I've tried a Corsair HX620W and a Antec TruePower 1000W and I still got the buzzing sound with both the PSU's.
    It seems originating from the MSI GTX 280.
    Is anyone familiar with this problem or what can be done?
    Also, for some awkward reason, I can't update my videocard drivers eithers. The installer holds at 50% and just holds without progressing. (I tried the official nvidia drivers and the ones on the MSI website). Same problem when manually installing the drivers.
    For what it's worth, the retail box was also quite damaged.
    Do I have a faulty card?
    or is a bad combination with the rest of my system?
    My system:
    CPU : Intel E8600 (2x 3.33 GHz)
    RAM : 4 GB Corsair
    GFX : MSI GTX 280 OC
    MOBO : Asus P5Q-E
    PSU : Corsair HX620W
    OS : Vista x64 Home Premium SP1

    Its a known fact that some GTX260/280, all brands, not just MSI, hum or buzz under load.
    This is due to certain electrical components on the pcb.
    Maybe you can RMA it, if you have a nice shop where you bought it and if your lucky the new one doesnt produce that sound, but no garantuees.
    Some hardcore tweakers will open up the plastic case and put a few drops of superglue on the copper windings and that will solve it.
    Its no more then reasonating copperwindings under load.

    Normally, the signal strength is great where I am. The downloads are always fast too. And right now, there is nothing else in this house that is turned on which should be causing any type of interference. I only have my cell phone and computer turned on. I do hear some kind of modulating energy type sound coming from outside. Would this be it? None the less, I have created some WiFi diagnostics which can be downloaded from https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2wbE3EVNff3fnEyREE0YV9qZXlJSy1NM05FZDQ0 UVBSamdDUmhZaVR3aFdxNXRqaXJnTzQ&usp=sharing
    How can I find a resolution to this? That modulating sound is kind of making me feel really agitated and uncomfortable and I have no idea where it is coming from. I am wondering if it is the cause of the WiFi lag too? If so, what can I do about it? I am not sure where it is coming from.

  • I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  The head phones work though.  I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled.  Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

    I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  There is sound when we use the headphones.  Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
    It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
    Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device.  Who h has not helped.
    HELP!!!!!!!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    Replace the jack yourself
