Noise from the inside of my ipad

So I’m using my 2018(2019) ipad pro and if I get it close enough to my ear-I can hear a buzzing or sometimes clicking noise coming from it. It’s not the speakers and I can’t hear it from a long distance. My thoughts are that it’s the hard drive because that noise was really loud when I was first turning it on. Also, when I’m playing games that noise gets louder too.


Is it ok? I had this noise from the start and it’s still here after a year.

It won’t be the hard drive - simply because the iPad doesn’t have one. All internal storage is SSD - not electro mechanical.


You might be best advised to take your iPad to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store - where the technicians will have opportunity to inspect and test the iPad. Being within warranty, if required, they’ll be able to explore your options.
