boing sound

Sometimes (not always) when I wake my MacBook Air I hear a sort of "boing" sound. I don't think it is any system sound. It sounds like the noise made by one of those mouth harps or when you hold part of a thin piece of metal at the edge of a table and flick the end. this is just so weird. Can anyone shed some light on this?

New MacBook Air M2 keeps waking up from sleep Hi, I bought a new MacBook Air M2. It's on a fresh Ventura install running the bare minimum of additional apps (1Password, Adguard, Signal). For some reasons, my Mac keeps waking up which draines the battery. It's not connected to any devices beside a Magic Mouse via Bluetooth. See below an extract of the logs. It keeps doing it every 2-3 minutes. Any idea what might be causing this issue?

M2 16-inch-Macbook Pro clacking sound Hi! My 2023 16-inch-M2-Macbook Pro makes a clacking/rattling sound when I shake it sideways, something inside apparently is moving. Does anybody know what this is? And I don't mean the infamous popping sound that earlier Intel Macbook Pros made a little while after starting/warming up. Thanks.

Macbook pro annoying "Toot" sound I have a MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019, macOS Ventura 13.0.1. Recently, (~ 1 month) it has started making the random notification (I guess) sound. It's probably supposed to be a "ding" but it sounds like a "toot", like one note on a Pan's Pipe. I've turned off every sound I can find and it won't stop. I'd really appreciate any help / ideas / solutions. (NOTE: It even bleeds in to FaceTime calls, Zoom, MS Teams, and others.)

I'm not sure what you are hearing. Could it be you have your Air plugged in to charge while it's starting up? To test the theory take note of when it makes the sound.
