Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are hearing unexpected noises from your MacBook Air. It's important that your MacBook Air work as expected and you've come to the right place for a resolution.

If the sounds persists, the following questions could be helpful to answer:
- Do you hear the noises after a certain action (lifting the device, connecting it to a charger, opening the lid) or when using a specific app?
- Does the MacBook Air have any accidental damage or previous contact with liquid?
Cheers!
