Hi there 7736amal8930,
Unexpected noises can raise an eyebrow, and we'd like to help look into this with you.
You mentioned the tick noise occurs only after closing the lid on your Mac, and only after using it for several hours. We'd like to confirm the following to better understand what's happening:
- Does the noise only occur once, and only when you physically close the lid?
- Does the noise seem to be coming from the built-in speaker?
- When did this first start to occur?
Take care!
