Help! MacBook Pro 14 M1 clicks when moving

MrJeffrys Said:

"Help! MacBook Pro 14 M1 clicks when moving: In the video I click on the bottom left edge, but this sound appears when I, for example, move the laptop or hold it on an uneven surface. When it is level, there is no such problem. It is not connected to charging. I thought about the accessories, but the laptop is 3 months old and the sound seems to be coming from the bottom of the laptop, where there is no keyboard."

Thank you for the followup reply.

You may have a Faulty Device:

The hardware may be loose. So, get this Mac's cover replaced, by taking this in for service. You have a one-year, out-of-the-box, limited-warranty with this. So, see if it can be fixed, and if it would be of no cost to you (if found to be faulty device)

To Set Up a Genius Bar Appointment:

Set up a Genius Bar Appointment (GBA) at your local Apple Store.

1. Siart here: Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
2. Scroll down to the Bottom of the page
3. Click the Get hardware help button

What to Bring:

Important: Bring some notes, your original proof of purchase, and create a backup prior to bringing it in. Though not required, bring the power adapter along, in case theirs does not work.  See More here: Get your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch Ready for Service - Apple Support

Perhaps the hardware is loose. Where exactly are you pressing it? There may shocks due to power pure or power surges.
