Q: macbook pro weird ticking noise

Hi! I have a 2015 Macbook Pro, yesterday it started making a weird ticking whirring noise noise, every 4 seconds.

Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0UEDkyPFqo

Any ideas to what it might be and how I might get it fixed? Perhaps it's a fan or the SSD?

I tried reseting the PRAM, this didn't help

Dude, I can only hear a slight whirring sound. There is no ticking sound. Its impossible for an SSD to make such sound. So, the only culprit in the retina macbook would be the fan. Get your macbook diagnose at the apple genius bar.

Hope this helps....

Run an Apple hardware test. It may provide a clue:
