Force trackpad strange loose/clicking noise

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my force touch trackpad on Macbook pro 13'' 2015 model.

Problem is that out of the sudden I've started to hear a strange clicking/touching noise inside (it is 100% technical problem). I have been trying to solve it by pressing hard the whole trackpad (6 fingers pressure). Once I do it, sound is gone but for a few minutes then it comes back and spreads in random places on the pad. Even if you tap on the trackpad you can hear that very thin, semi surface touching sound. Sometimes it randomly disappears and comes back.

Have you ever had such problems and is there a fix? My macbook pro is 4 months old only, bought in UK.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

Had the same issue which was fixed after calling Apple Care

1. Shut down Macbook

2. Press shift + control + option + power button for approx 10 seconds -- release.

3. Press power button

This resets the power grid, so to speak. It fixed my issue.

Hope it helps

thanks! The compressed air totally fixed the clicking noise immediately! I keep the item on hand for getting sand and ocean water out of dog's E-collar charging ports.
