Strange clicking sound when screensaver is activated.

Has anybody noticed a strange clicking sound coming from the right side of the machine when the screensaver is activated? I barely noticed it when I first got the machine, but now it seems to be getting louder.

i switched to that screeensaver.. maxed the volume and the display
put my ear up to the keyboard and screen for about a minute
silence
... so it is something with your screen
there have been a number of inverter problems as mentioned above
does your scren flicker at low light..
make noise generally?
mine is 100% silent...
but along with the noise if you browse these forums you'll see many people who have had the inverter replaced.....
sorry i could not be more help.. i would call apple rather than live with it if I were you...
good luck, sorry i could not be more helpful

    FaceTime making strange clicking sound
    When FaceTime calls from my MacBook through my iPhone 5 work its a great feature. When it fails, extremely frustrating. I often experience a loud clicking sound when trying to place calls. I can be heard by the person I am calling but I can't hear them, only the clicking. Restarting worked for months to eliminate clickling which seemed to happen after using the headphone port now nothing seems to work predictably, even lost all sound from attempted calls today even after restarting although everything worked fine yesterday. Running MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) with OS 10.10.2 and an iPhone 5 with 8.1.3. Would love to see a permanent fix that includes the ability to see voicemail messages on my Mac.

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Strange clicking sound on my Lumia 930 arround the...

    When my camera is not activated, if I mildly shake my Lumia 930 I can hear a strange clicking sound on the upper part of the device, just arround the camera lense. Can it be the lenses just shaking, because when the camera is activated  that sound disappears.

    Hi, Tomislav5. Welcome to Microsoft Mobile Community. How long have you been noticing this issue? Did you change any settings on the device that may cause this to happen? Make sure that the system apps on the device are all updated. You may check it by going to Store > ... > settings > check for updates. You may also try rebooting your phone by pressing and holding the volume down and the power keys at the same for 10-15 seconds and see if it makes any difference. you may need to set the date and the time after this operation. We'll wait for your response.

  • New iMac20, strange clicking sound

    Hi,
    I have had my iMac 20" MB324RS/A for about 2 week, and from first day I have strange clicking sound like a clock "tick-tock" with 2-3 sec frequency. There is no dependence between this noise and CPU/HDD/CD load etc.
    I now, somebody have a troubles like this, but only when display sleepeng. My iMac have this clicking every time after "Power On" regardless of OS was loading or not.
    Sorry for my English

    Well... looks like any 5400rpm drive produces such a clicking sound, even though I've never heard it on a 15" PB 1.5 Ghz et al.. The new Hitachi HD isn't as bad as the other one (Toshiba), yet the sound is still very noticeable.
    Guess I got to get used to it. On the Titanium PB, the fan kicks in when charging the battery for about 15 min, so a PB 12" with a clicking HD might not that bad.
    Traded a yet jet engine for a movie projector, he he he.
    The display doesn't look quite as good the TiBook's and it's got a fairly poor viewing angle, yet I knew that already. Besides that, you got to love the 12" PowerBook!!! There's a significant speed increase (1.5 Ghz 1.25 GB Ram, bigger, faster HD vs. 867 Mhz, 768 MB Ram) and - thanks to DesktopManager - the smaller screen is very usable for most tasks. It's much more portable than the 15" and the best of all, all my third party (PowerPC) menu items, preference panes, Latex installation, applications work perfectly. Cloned the TiBook HD and I was up and running within 2 h, thats how long it takes to copy 40GB via FW 400.
    Let Apple roll out some great Intel machines and software developers universalize their apps. In the meantime, I'm carrying around a cute little PB. Buying a PowerPC Mac today is a reasonably choice, if you're like me and need to support a bunch of Macs around you. Software reliability is another key point. Joe Average might be tempted to get a fast Macbook though.
    Who knows, maybe Apple comes up with a 12" PB replacement tomorrow, which is so good, I'll be kicking myself he he he. Wish list: HD screen (without any strange lines, of course), back-lit keyboard, thinner and lighter, Core Duo.

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Click sound when opening/closing cover

    I've had the ipad 2 and Apple cover for 2 months.  When I first got it, there was a click sound when opening or closing the cover.  There is no sound anymore when opening/closing.  Did I change a setting somehow which caused this?

    On the new iPad, the switch next to the volume rocker has two functions, depending on how you have it set in 'Settings.'  There's a section in General called Use Side Switch to:.  You can either use it to Lock Rotation or Mute.  When it is set to Lock Rotation and the switch is pushed to the left, yes, the rotation is locked, but when it is set to Mute, and the switch is pushed to the left, all sounds are muted, including the sound for when closing the cover.

  • Should Keyboard have the "clicking" sound when typing?

    I noticed that the MacBook Pros, when typing on them, have the clicking sound when pressing each key. My wired keyboard also has a clicking sound when typing. However, the MBA I just received in the mail, does not. Only the space bar essentially does. Is this the same for all of them? Thanks.

    Yes, this is normal. The keys don't really click, the spacebar isn't really a click but it makes a slightly more click like sound the other keys on the MBA.
    The latest MBP keys are more like the MBA keys I believe.

  • HT4528 Clicking sound when making a phone call

    Clicking sound when making phone call

    I had this happen as well. Restarting my MacBook Pro (8,2) made it go away. At other times it seemed to appear when calling some phones (my wife's iPhone 4 and my son's Samsung phone) but not others (my land line), but this was not consistent. My phone is an iPhone 5. I'm hoping the iOS update due tomorrow will fix this.

  • Help! Instead of my project's audio, I hear strange clicking sounds

    I've been editing a video for a while and the audio's been fine... then all of a sudden it stopped working (not on mute or anything) and all I can hear are these strange clicking noises when I stop or start the playback...I feel like I probably just pressed a button by accident and that it's a simple thing to correct but I'm clueless as to how to go about it. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I think apple doesn't support using siri while driving.
    Cause it can distract you from driving.

  • MacBook Pro 2012 hinge problem with single click sound when i open it

    when i go to sleep and shut my macbook off and close the screen next morning i open my screen and i hear a single click noise??
    im paranoid ita a brand new macbook its not a hard drive fail it just a single click sound when i open it to turn on
    and heres a video of the hinge is this is whats causing the single click sound? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEUt2p783nA

    I have this problem too with my Mid-2012 MBP non-retina. The screen would click once, after being left for a long time, and would be fine after that, until you close it and re-open it again after a long time. It is especially loud in the morning so I think it is temperature dependent. Happened about 3 months after buying. I took it to Apple. First time they replaced the entire screen. They had to since that is the only way to replace the hinge. When I got it back, the screen still clicks. Took it back to Apple again. Second time they just tightened the screws securing the display with the unibody. When I got it back the second time, the screen still clicks. Took it back to Apple again. The third time they replaced the entire screen AGAIN! When I got it back, the problem was fixed for 2 days, then the screen started clicking again so I'm back to square one. I'm wondering whether I should take it to Apple the forth time, but then again, they've already replaced the screen twice which didn't work so I'm not sure what more they can do. It's either this is normal, which implies the screen hinge is really badly designed or the clicking has nothing to do with the screen at all.

  • Why is there a clicking sound when I close the cover and enter sleep mode?

    why is there a clicking sound when I close the cover and enter sleep mode?

    Hi katesvca,
    I too have an iPad smart cover, and all that clicking sound is is basically the standard lock sound for iOS. The Smart cover is equipped with magnets inside, and the iPad is also equipped with magnets, and when those magnets are closed together the iPad goes to sleep.
    I hope this answers your question.

  • Front of iPhone4 makes clicking sound when I press it? Can it be fixed?

    The screen of my iPhone 4 has started making a clicking sound when I press on the front during normal use. Can this be fixed easily?

    Since you are still in the warranty period, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have it checked.  The clicks are not loud, but should be audible.
    Ciao.

  • My iphone is making clicking sounds when I try to slide it or tap on an app.  I can not make phone calls.

    I hit something on my Iphone to make it start talking.  I also was not able to slide the screen up or down right or left.  I looked around on the web and found out how to stop it from talking,  Now it is making clicking sounds when I tap on an app.  The screen will still not slide. I have to tap on an app about 5 or six times to make it do anything.  Now I can't make a phone call because the keys will not respond when I tap on them.

    i am sorry to say but there is no way to undo a software update to go back you have to go threw your phone provider and have then do a replacement on the phone and just not do the update. when they receive the phone they will send it off for testing and to have the bugs fixed
