Why dose my Macbook makes really loud noise ?

When it is loading a disc, doesn't matter it's has movie, music, or software in the disc, the computer always makes this loud noise, it's driving me crazy every time, is it normal ?

My Macbook's drive if pretty loud too but I don't often have a disc in there. Usually only for a software install (not very often) or to burn something (fairly often). The fan running, especially if you're watching a video stream is pretty common. If you're really concerned, do you have any friends with MacBooks or is there a store nearby that sells Macs? Go check them out and see if your's is really loud of if it's just the nature of the super drive to be that loud.
Like I said I think mine is pretty loud but I don't use it enough to let it bother me.

  • Why does my macbook make a funny noise when I open it?

    After my macbook pro has been on the charger for some time & I open it up, it will make a funny noise & the screen will be blue with a bar on it.  Takes a little bit before I can use it,  Does anyone know what is wrong?

    I quit all applications & close the lid.  I usually use the charger all time.  If I leave it unplugged from the charger, it will not do this.  It will make a whirring noise & the screen will be blue over my background, will have a bar on it like it is loading.  Then will finally let me use the curser after a few seconds.  Only had the macbook for about 4 months.  It started doing this about 2 month after I bought it.
    If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them.  Let them deal w/it.

  • Why is my disc drive making loud noises

    why is my disc drive making loud noises when i am burning a disc?

    Honestly, Its normal when it makes noise when a CD is in there.

  • Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???

    Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???
    I would expect that it would make an unusual noise if plugged into a generic USB charger that does not have enough oomph to charge a pad to alert you - otherwise, you might think the noise is reassuring that you are actually charging it.

    I guess my question was actually more of a comment on the (lack of) design!  It is unusual that something like this would still be in an Apple product.  There are wall chargers that have a USB port on them that do not have the required oomph to charge the iPad.  I have one that has two USB ports, one for my iPhone  (it won't charge an iPad), and one for an iPad with greater amperage rating.  I accidentally used the wrong ones for a while yesterday, but noticed before being "surprised" the next morning by an uncharged iPad.  The iPad is smart enough to say "Not charging" by the battery icon when it is plugges in to one of these, so it "knows" - seems like it would be fairly simply to have the iPad make a different or additional noise  wehn it puts up the "Not charging" text icon.  Failsafe user experience?

    Good Afternoon Jonathan,
    Check out the sound samples below to determine if the sounds you are hearing from the optical drive are normal or excessive.  Troubleshooting steps are included if needed.
    Mac notebooks with optical drives: Noises from the optical drive - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201623
    You may notice your optical disc drive makes various sounds even if a CD or DVD isn't in the drive. The noises you might hear from the optical drive are probably normal. There is a small motor in the drive that spins discs.
    These are some examples of sounds you might hear from your optical disc drive (these recordings were taken very close to the optical drive--the equivalent of having your ear directly next to the drive):
    Waking the computer from sleep (sample)
    Burning a CD or DVD (sample)
    Inserting a disc (sample-1, sample-2)
    Ejecting a disc (sample-1, sample-2)
    Importing ("ripping") an audio CD in iTunes (sample)
    Playing a DVD (sample)
    Spinning up an idle disc (sample-1, sample-2)
    The sample sounds may be similar to what you hear, but may not be an exact match. Different discs may make different noises in the drive. Not all discs can be read at the same speeds.
    After listening to the example sounds, if you feel that your optical disc drive is making noises in excess of these examples during normal operation, please contact AppleCare for assistance.
    For more information, see Mac Notebooks: Troubleshooting the slot-loading optical disc drive.

  • Macbook Pro making loud noise

    Hi, I am writing because I recently purchased (not really about two months ago) purchased a Macbook Pro. Now I have had this problem since the week after I bought my computer. I never brought it in because, well it was a present from my father and it seemed kind of like, I felt like scared because since it did cost 2,000$ I was scared to tell him. (I am younger than 16, so I have grounds to be scared.) So the problem is there is a loud noise that sounds like a messed up fan, but its sadly not, it comes from the top left of my computer. Next to the speaker spot, I don't even use my computer. It's like Manufacture settings because since it was broken I never wished to use it. So basically the noise is to the point where I would rather keep the computer off than turn it on. Now I am willing to do anything to get it fixed. I just wish I could use it without having to hear this noise.

    If it's a manufacturer defect, it's covered. If it was caused by damage/mistreatment, then no. The fans should be quiet (and the cool the chips, mainly)...during heavy CPU activity you may hear them, but the sound should not be loud, and you'll mostly hear the moving air. I'd recommend taking it in.

  • MacBook makes repeated beeping noise when attempting to turn on?

  • Macbook makes weird clicking noises

    i can't remember when this started, but randomly, my macbook will start to make weird clicking noises. it's not just when it's idle either, i'll be using it and it'll still make weird low "dddddddd" noises ><;; i don't think it's the fan b/c it's not the high pitched whirring...does anybody else have this problem???

    This clicking sound is specifically from the hard drive in MacBooks. The model of the hard drive in my MacBook is the FUJITSU MHV2080BHPL. I've had this click for well over a year and it only shows up when my hard drive is having to do a lot of thrashing for virtual memory purposes. I consider it entirely benign and merely a consequence of the hard drive head moving back and forth across the drive. It is very rare. Fujitsu drives historically are very reliable (as opposed to the Hitachi/Travelstar IBM drives which are historically a POS).
    Nevertheless! What is the first rule of computing? Quote after me: *'MAKE A BACKUP'*. There is no excuse for not making regular backups of your hard drive. If you don't, you get what you deserve. It's that simple. *All hard drives fail.* It's just a matter of when. These days hard drives are being made cheaply, with lower quality standards than in the past, therefore they fail much more readily. Even Seagate, which I considered the hold out quality hard drive maker on the market, have recently been putting out faulty drives. NEVER depend on your hard drive.

  • Everytime my phone vibrates it makes this loud noise from inside that sounds like a weird cracking noise or something help!!

    Okay so I noticed a week or two ago that there was something lose on the inside of my iPhone 5s and ever since then when my phone vibrates sometimes there is this weird noise. It sounds almost like a cracking noise from the inside or a weird electrical noise. I think something is wrong with the vibrating part. Does anyone know if this is fixable or what it is?

    Hello ashliz17,

  • Fan making really loud noises

    Hi,
    The fan on my laptop is making very loud noises, like something's stuck in it, but after I took the entire laptop apart, and cleaned the dusty fan, the noise level is still the same (+3 extra screws now...=( ). Is there anything else I can do, or do I need to replace the fan? If yes, can I get a replacement fan at any normal computer store? The model is Compaq Presario V3233AU. 
    Thanks!  
    Message Edited by ArielSY on 10-26-2009 09:36 AM

    So I just talked to an HP online specialist, and it turns out that it might not be the fan at all, and might instead be the hard drive making the grinding noises. I cleaned the fan, and my laptop temp has gone down significantly, so I'm not sure that was the problem either. The specialist said that I could take the laptop apart, take out the hard drive, and run the laptop to see if the noises continue to confirm if the fan is making the noises. If not, the hard drive is probably replaceable =P 
    However, he ALSO told me that I could continue using my laptop, regardless of the noises, which was confusing, as I assumed that anything wrong with the hard drive probably had to be fixed immediately for me to avoid losing all my data? Help! What should I do?!  

  • My superdrive makes a loud noise when i start up my new macbook pro 15" that i just got about a month ago, is there any way how to fix it or should i take it in to an apple store

    Just got a brand new macbook pro, and eve since I first started it up it has made this weird noise right before the start up audio. i have done some research and i have found out that there are two superdrives that apple puts into their macbooks and that one is louder then the other, but this was back in 2009. should apple have fixed that through out all these years. what should i do?

    Yes, it makes this noise, but only on startup.  It is normal to hear this noise during startup.  My mac is an early 2011 model.
