MacBook Air M5 makes loud noise from hinge area when moved

MacBook Air M5 weird noise when moving


When I have my MacBook Air M5 opened, and then do a movement like turning it (without moving the hindge, turning the entire machine), it makes a very loud "ta" noise coming from the keyboard/left hand side of the hindge. I don't know if this is normal or is there's something with my hindge.


When my lid is closed and doing the same thing, that noise would not come out.
