Weird noise coming from a Brand-new Macbook pro, randomly. (Includes a recording).

Hi Grant,

No, I have no external drive connected to my laptop.. It sounds like the noise is coming from inside the computer, hard to figure out from where, but i'm guessing from the right side. as for now it is not loud, but noticeable. Do you think I need to run any diagnostic or hardware check somehow ?

It doesn't sound like a cooing fan in my opinion. more like a hard drive sound ? or maybe i'm wrong.

Thanks.

Right now i'm actually quite scared to even restart the Macbook. Do you think it is possible that this noise means something bad about my hard drive ?

Is there any chance that the hard drive will fail to boot if I'll restart ?

I am just trying to be rational.

Something is making these noises, and it never did before. did you listen to the recording ? do you think it sounds like fan-related ? if not, what could it be ?

it keeps on making this noise every 10 minutes or so. the weird thing is it did it when it was in sleep mode as well.

Any thoughts/ recommendations ? I am starting to get quite stressed. Paid a lot for this brilliant machine.

Thank you,

I will consider that.

Would love any more thoughts regarding the noise itself and what could it be...

Got it, thanks.

So my only question is really, what could it be ?

Edit- I have close the lid again, putting the MBP into sleeping mode. 5 minutes later - it has made the same noise again. while asleep. even louder this time.

It really freaks me out, as nothing should be even working, it's on sleep mode !

Please, any thoughts ?

Ok.

I think i'm going to try the Diagnostics.

It's the weirdest thing i've ever heard of. i'm quite new to Macbooks, but still, a computer making physical noises while on sleeping mode is very odd. I'm sitting in my room and it's next to me, literally making noises every few minutes. the noises seem to be even louder while the lid is shut.
