Tick or click noise on my MacBook Pro 14" M1

When typing on my MacBook and sometimes just using the Force Touch pad, I am hearing a slight tick/click sound from inside of the computer.

I am seeing som easy that it might be software but it is happening when I am in apps and when I am not in anything at all.

I am also hearing it when I am picking up the MacBook from the area nearest the Force Touch pad.

Has anyone found a reason why this is happening or is it a factory fault?

I had just made my purchase Aug. 18th of this month.

Any help is much appreciated.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.5

Greetings abyrdks,

To help check for potential hardware issues, see if any errors come up when using Apple Diagnostics.

Check out those steps here:

Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support

"Apple silicon

Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button as your Mac starts up.
Release when you see the startup options window, which includes a gear icon labeled Options.
Press Command (⌘)-D on your keyboard."

If the issue persists, seek service to have your Mac inspected by a service technician to help diagnose the behavior: Mac Service & Repair - Apple Support

Kind regards.
