Click noise when closing lid - Macbook Pro 13" 2016

My new Macbook Pro 13" 2016 sometimes makes a click noise when i close the lid. I don't really know where it's coming from. Does anyone has the same issue?


Best regards

I'm having the same exact issue. I wonder if it has to do with the colder climate (I live in Michigan). But yeah, when I close it, right when it's roughly an inch from being closed, there's a soft click noise from the right side (facing). If I open it while the Macbook is cold, then there's a louder click noise from the right side as well. I haven't been able to find anything at all about it online until now. I've actually had 3 of the 2016 Macbook Pros (long story) and all 3 did the same thing. I currently have the 512GB 13" Touch Bar version.

I was at our apple sales partner in austria and they said it could come from a magnet under the trackpad. But they also didn't really knew where it came from. I was able to get my macbook replaced with a new one. I got my new one on monday and didn't hear the sound since then. But i had the equal loudness independent of the temperature on the old one.

I have the same issue on my MBP 13" 2016, a faint click that sometimes is barely audible when closing the lid. I think it comes from the top right corner, above the power button. Doesn't bother me too much, though it d be nice to know what it is.
