My MacBook pro makes a weird sound

Hi all,


My macbook pro makes a weird sound any 3/4 seconds. It’s hard to explain what it sounds like, but for me it’s most comparible with the sound your iPhone makes when you call someone on Facetime. The sound comes from the right side of the laptop.


Please let me know if you have any idea what it might be!

Hey SophieTME!

This is something I've never heard about before, but my best guess would be that it is the hard drive. It could be off balanced, or damaged from a drop or something like that. If you have a SuperDrive on your MacBook, it could also be that, but best guess is it is the hard drive. If your computer stops working, or it gets worse I would take it into Apple.
