Macbook Pro 15" (2017-model) - Sticky/click sound

Hello

I have an 1 month old MacBook Pro 15" (2017-model) 3.1 GHz i7, 16Gb ram.

Sometimes when both my fan inside the machine spins up, I sometimes can hear a small "Sticky sound"/very low click sound coming from inside the machine.

It almost sounds like something is turning on, but I cannot decide if there is a problem.

The machine seems to work fine in my daily workflow, and the fans are not noisy. It is just strange that I sometimes gets this little "sticky/clicking sound". It almost sounds like when you put a small peace of tape on a surface and pull it off.

Imac, Mac OS X (10.6.2)
