Trackpad making clicking noise when moving mouse/Scrolling

I purchased my 2017 Macbook Air 13" 2 days ago, and I noticed today that when I am scrolling and moving the mouse on certain parts of the trackpad, there is a clicking noise. Its extremely annoying when working in a quiet office, and it wasnt there for the first 2 days. Any ideas?

Final Update

Took this into the Genius Bar today, and they said it was indeed loose. The screw that holds it into place was very loose closest to the edge of the computer. The rep there told me he has seen a few of these and it is a manufacturer issue. I was surprised I had to get a repair after only owning it for 2 days, but glad it was fixed.

Update on this

I actually have realized its almost as if the trackpad is a bit loose and rattling. This is my first Mac, so not sure if trackpads normally make a tapping sound when scrolling or if this is indeed an issue that I need to go get fixed. Please let me know if anyone has experienced this and/or knows if this is something I can repair.
