For some strange reason my macbook pro makes a weird noise whenever it is lifted or moved. At 1st I thought it was the fan but when it is still I can hear the fan and it's not the same noise. I can't exactly describe the noise but it's like strumming on a guitar and everytime I move my computer especially lifting it up or putting it down I hear it. Is that normal?
MacBook Pro, iOS 6.0.2
You do not mention which model Macbook you have. In any case, a solution may be found if you search in the "More Like This" section over in the right column.

If the sound seems to be centered around where the hard drive is (right palmrest area), could be the Sudden Motion Sensor doing its thing and saving your bacon.
Thanks! I actually called the customer care and surprisingly the rep didn't mention anything about the possibility of it being the SMS, but in the event that it is the SMS, my cousins have the same macbook pro and whenever I lift them, they still don't make the same noise. I scheduled an appointment to have them check it out next week Tuesday so I will see what's really up.
BTW, here's something for SMS fun: http://www.suitable.com/tools/seismac.html Real crowd pleaser. That is, till you get to measure a Richter 8 event.... 😁
