Slight chirping sounds under my MacBook Pro (13" mid-2019)

So tonight I realized the MacBook gives off a slight chirping sound form under the machine, right in the middle, where the MacBook Pro logo is. I wanted to know it this is normal or if there's any way to solve it. Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

Listen to the soundtrack on this Youtube Video. If this is your noise, it is a surprise, but not a defect.


SSDs are NOT SILENT! SSD M.2 making high pitch noise or crackling/whirring

You have only until wed, Jan 8 to return -- provided you bought direct from Apple after 15 Nov and not from a Reseller.

Hi mansmontx,


Thanks for posting your question. As I understand it, you're hearing a chirping sound from your MacBook Pro.


That type of sound may be hard drive noise. How frequently does it happen? Is it constant, or intermittent? If it's intermittent, does it happen when you're using a particular type of app or function?


It may help to run the built-in diagnostic: How to use Apple Diagnostics on your Mac


If the noise is constant, or if you receive an error during the diagnostic, you may want to set up an appointment with a nearby Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for a hands-on inspection:

I hope this helps get you started. Take care.
